feat(notes): add --latest to notes get for ambiguous slugs#730
Merged
Conversation
A bare `--name` with hits from multiple authors errors out, since a slug isn't unique — notes are keyed by (kind, author, slug). That's the right default, but it blocks wiki-style "just give me the current one" reads. `--latest` opts into picking the most recently updated candidate instead of erroring. Default stays strict; `--latest` conflicts with `--author` and `--naddr` (both already pin a single note). The ambiguity error now also points at `--latest`. Flag validation is extracted to a pure `validate_get_args` helper so the full matrix is unit-tested without a relay. Signed-off-by: Tyler Longwell <109685178+tlongwell-block@users.noreply.github.com>

--latesttosprout notes get. On a bare--namethat matches notes from multiple authors, the CLI errors out (a slug isn't globally unique — notes are keyed by(kind, author, slug)).--latestopts into picking the most recently updated candidate instead.Why
Enables wiki-style "just give me the current one" reads against a shared slug without forcing the caller to know an author pubkey. The strict-by-default behavior stays —
