Both #3938 and #6764 have attempted to chip away at this feature request by hard-coding a user agent indication (hashtag or otherwise) as part of the note’s actual body text. This gets the job done, though it’s a bit of a band-aid. When another mapper later encounters the note, they’ll see the tagline only in English. Even if we localize this string, it’s still only going to be in the notetaker’s language, not the reviewer’s language. If we add a filter by user agent, then it would need to parse the taglines out of the comment body.

On the other end of the spectrum, #5904 for #5294 proposes to add a flexible system of version-controlled note tags. This is much more complex than the basic task of knowing how the note was created. A note’s user agent string should be immutable; I don’t think a note reviewer would ever need to edit it for any reason.

Is there a possible middle ground of storing just the user-agent string alongside each note? If so, then could the website backend automatically record the User-Agent header of the request that posts the note and return that as an additional field in the /notes/#id response? If and when we later introduce a full-fledged tagging system for notes, we could upgrade this user agent field to a tag, or we could leave it separate since it’s immutable.
