feat(notes): a note's check is writable through both doors, and empty means empty (#3164, milestone 317 step 2)
The rules path's three lessons (#3096), inherited:

EMPTY MEANS NULL. The sweep's whole signal is `verify_with IS NULL` = "this is
a decision, there is nothing to go and check". A "" that is not NULL makes a
norm look like a constraint nobody has verified — and never-checked sorts
FIRST, so it would sit at the top of the sweep forever.

CLEARING IS EXPLICIT. At the MCP door "" means "leave this alone", so an agent
updating a body does not wipe a check it was never asked about — which leaves
no value meaning "remove it". `clear` names the field, and naming it cannot
happen by accident. The REST door, where a cleared form input arrives as "",
reaches the same place through normalisation: two idioms, one outcome.

THE STAMP CERTIFIES A CHECK, NOT A RECORD. Rewrite or clear `verify_with` and
`verified_at` is dropped, so the note re-enters the sweep. A note wrongly
listed as due costs one look; a note wrongly vouched for costs exactly what
the sweep exists to catch. `verified_at` is also no longer settable through an
ordinary edit — a stamp says somebody performed THIS check, and minting one
from a write that ran no check is the one thing that would make the sweep lie.

And one this path adds: not every record may carry a check. A task's decay is
its status — a done issue records what happened rather than asserting
something that can go false — and a snippet already has verify_snippet, which
compares its recorded location and code against the repo and expires its own
verdict. Both are refused with a message naming the alternative, never dropped
silently (minted_kind's reasoning, #3129), and the gate lives at the service
so the two doors cannot come to disagree.

Written as an INVARIANT over the resulting record, not a filter on which
fields were passed. That is what catches the sideways route — a checked note
being turned into a task, a write that names no check at all and would sail
past any per-field gate.

The MCP docstrings carry the norm-vs-constraint test, because at that door the
docstring IS the contract and a field described only as "how to verify this"
gets filled in on every note. Step 5 does this properly across the instruction
surfaces; this is the minimum that stops the field being misused on arrival.

tests/helpers gains `drive_update_note` — the patch stack for driving
update_note, written twice before this and now once. The note-shaped fakes
gain the trio explicitly, for fake_note's own stated reason: an unset
attribute is a truthy MagicMock, and a truthy verify_with reads as a check
that is there.

"""A snippet's `data` mirror survives the GENERIC note door.
`notes.data` is derived from the body. The snippet service always composed it
from the field set it had just merged, so `update_snippet` was never the
problem — the problem was every other way a snippet's body could be written.
`update_note` is a `hasattr` loop with no snippet awareness, and both doors
reach it: PATCH /api/notes/<id> and the MCP update_note tool. The Knowledge
feed handed you that path, because a snippet card there routed to /notes/:id.
The failure was silent and the wrong way round: `snippet_fields` PREFERS the
mirror, so the row went on reporting its old repo/path/symbol to the location
reverse lookup and to prior-art recall while displaying its new body — a record
surfaced with full authority and wrong, which the drift-check docstring calls
worse than having no record at all (#3128).
