Step 1 of the snippet-merge milestone (#231). A snippet that unifies N
found one-offs carries N locations (one per call site), so `location`
becomes a list. Ships on the body-convention — no migration, swappable to
the deferred `data` JSONB later (as #227 decision 5 anticipated).
- compose_body: renders `**Location:**` for a single location, a
`**Locations:**` bullet list for several. Accepts a `locations` list;
the single repo/path/symbol params remain as a one-location shorthand
(create path + existing callers/tests unchanged).
- parse_snippet_fields: reads BOTH the new `**Locations:**` list block AND
the legacy single `**Location:**` line (tolerant, never raises); returns
a `locations` list and mirrors the first into repo/path/symbol for
back-compat (rule #33).
- update_snippet: gains a `locations` param — replaces the whole set; else
a legacy single triple overlays onto the first location; else kept.
- Tests: multi-location round-trip, singular-vs-plural label, legacy
single-line parse, normalize dedup/empty.

Record reusable functions/components once so they surface via the existing
semantic search + title-first auto-inject, instead of re-solving as one-offs.
A snippet is a Note with note_type='snippet' (no schema change): note_type is
free-text, and semantic_search_notes never filters by type, so snippets join
the recall/auto-inject pool the moment they're embedded. Structured fields
(name/language/signature/location/when_to_use/code) are stored via a body
convention — title = "name — when to use" (what auto-inject surfaces), language
+ "snippet" as tags, templated markdown body — keeping storage swappable later
without changing the tool/UI contract.
- services/snippets.py: compose/parse helpers + create/get/list/update wrappers
over notes_svc (dedup + System association reused).
- mcp/tools/snippets.py: list_snippets / create_snippet / get_snippet /
update_snippet, registered in tools/__init__.py.
- unit tests for the serialize/parse round-trip and the MCP tool surface.
