Apple Notes App Crashing on MacBook Pro After Launch, Works Fine on iPhone

MacBook Pro, Sequoia 15.2 (updated 12/12/24), Notes app.

When I click the icon to open the app, the Notes window briefly appears for less than a second, then the app immediately crashes and disappears. This issue started yesterday before I updated to Sequoia 15.2.

I have tried un-syncing Notes from iCloud.

I have tried to delete the app but when I drag the icon from the Applications folder to the trash can, nothing happens. When I right-click the app icon, no "move to trash" option exists in the menu.

No error messages are displayed before the app crashes.

Notes syncs and works perfectly fine on iPhone via iCloud.

Restarting the MacBook Pro does not resolve the issue.

All other iCloud-related apps (e.g. mail, calendar) are working correctly on the Mac.

Looking for suggestions to diagnose and resolve this issue.
