Two bugs in the read.js code block:
1. reader.download() returns { payload, feedIndex } with no reference
property — replace with reader.downloadReference() which returns
{ reference, feedIndex } as needed by bee.downloadFile().
2. bee.downloadFile() returns data as a bee-js Bytes object, not an
ArrayBuffer — new TextDecoder().decode(authorsData.data) throws;
use authorsData.data.bytes to get the underlying Buffer.

The Dynamic Note Board no longer exists. The dynamic-content guide now uses a Simple Blog as its example project. Update the back-reference in the multi-author blog article accordingly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add add-author.js to the Example Scripts list in the multi-author blog guide, and replace the incomplete "Adding a New Author" bee-js code snippet with a reference to the runnable script in the examples repo. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Full review of the Multi-Author Blog guide and its example scripts, fixing bugs found by running the code against a live Bee node:
Bug fixes (
