Add case note editing and irreversible redaction to the Python SDK and CLI. Editing trims surrounding whitespace to match add-note and accepts inline text, a UTF-8 file or stdin. Redaction requires --confirm and reports images still awaiting deletion.

Both SDK methods preserve organization and staging routing and encode note IDs as URL segments. Command discovery, extended help and the CLI reference explain the 8192-byte limit, 100 actual edits per note, immutable redaction, recovery-copy retention and external copies that cannot be recalled. The backend API changes are released separately.

Validation: pytest tests/unit/ tests/microbenchmarks/ — 5302 passed, 5 skipped. New contract and regression tests fail with the corresponding implementation reverted. A fresh independent review of a pristine copy approved the final head and reran 1229 affected tests with 2 skipped. CI is green.
