| `slug` | `string` | Yes |  |
| `title` | `string` | Yes |  |
| `updatedAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes | The head revision's own timestamp, so appviews holding the same history agree. Same fallback as createdAt. |
| `uri` | `string` (at-uri) | Yes | AT-URI of the note record. The rkey is a TID, so read it from here or address the note by wiki and slug. |
| `wiki` | `string` (at-uri) | Yes |  |
