Update the content of an existing note. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: By default, this REPLACES the entire note content. Always read the note first if you need to preserve existing content. When to use: - Updating a note with completely new content (replace) - Adding content to the end of a note (append) - Programmatically modifying notes When NOT to use: - Making small edits (read first, then update with full content) - Creating new notes (use create_note instead) Returns: Update status with path, metadata, and operation performed
