fix: remove idempotentHint from edit_note

phernandez · claude · phernandez · commit 2a458c8c3994 · 2026-02-21T12:23:59.000-06:00
edit_note supports append/prepend operations which are not idempotent —
repeating the same call adds duplicate content. Marking it idempotent
could cause MCP clients to auto-retry on transient failures, producing
duplicated edits.
