+### `Notes` Stores Integer IDs, Not Names
+As of 2026-08-07 `Notes.RootBlogName`, `NoteBlogName` and `Type` are gone, replaced by
+`RootBlogId`, `NoteBlogId` and `TypeId` resolving through the `BlogNames` and `NoteTypes`
+lookup tables. There is no compatibility view — naming an old column is a hard SQLite
+error, so unlike `IsActive` this is a hard cut with no runtime probe. Full detail in
+`URLNotesGrabberCORE/TL.db.md`.
+
+- **Joining `Notes` to `Blogs` goes through `Blogs.BlogId`**, not `BlogNames`:
+ `FROM Blogs B INNER JOIN Notes N ON N.NoteBlogId = B.BlogId`. Routing it through
+ `BlogNames` adds a hop and ends in the text comparison the migration removed
+- **Joining `Notes` to `Posts` is the opposite** — `Posts` has only `BlogName`, so it must
+ go through `BlogNames` (`GetRepliesWithFilledText`). This is the only such join
+- **Resolve a name by filtering the lookup, never by scanning `Notes`**:
+ `WHERE NoteBlogId = (SELECT BlogId FROM BlogNames WHERE BlogName = @name)`. The subquery
+ is a unique-index probe on 20k rows and does not show against the 1.18M-row table
+- **`AddNote` registers both blog names *and* the note type** with `INSERT OR IGNORE`
+ before inserting, all in one transaction. `NoteTypes` is a table rather than a `CHECK`
+ constraint precisely so an unseen type is an `INSERT`; without that registration it
+ would resolve to `NULL` and fail the `NOT NULL` on `TypeId`, losing the note
+- **`Blogs.BlogId` is NULL on 168,202 of 188,620 rows** — every blog that has never
+ appeared in a note. An inner join on it silently drops them. Correct for engagement
+ queries, wrong for anything listing the registry
+- **IDs are stable and must never be renumbered.** They are stored in 1.18M `Notes` rows.
+ A blog renamed upstream gets a new `BlogNames` row, not an edited one
+- Prefer `TypeId = (SELECT TypeId FROM NoteTypes WHERE Type = 'reply')` over a hardcoded
+ ID. A negated `TypeId NOT IN (SELECT …)` is only correct because `TypeId` is `NOT NULL`
+- Duplicate-key detection uses `IsNotesDuplicateKey`, which matches the constraint and the
+ table rather than an exact column list. The old literal string comparison broke silently
+ on this rename — do not reintroduce one
+
### `IsActive` Is Not Ours To Write
`Blogs.IsActive`, `Posts.IsActive` and `Notes.IsActive` are removal flags set by other tools
(Rolodex). `0` means removed; anything else, including `NULL`, means live. Full detail in
