 /**
- * validation of note creation options through type checking.
+ * Creating notes through note_create can have multiple kinds of valid
+ * arguments. This type hierchary is checking if the arguments are correct.
+ * Later the functions are overloaded based on an enum, to fixate the argument
+ * type and through the type system the legal arguments.
  *
- * If the typechecking returns no errors, then the inputs create a valid state,
- * but only if the types are defined semantically correct.
- *
- * These definitions use discriminated unions (`BaseCreateNoteOpts`) built from composable
- * `type` aliases (not `interface`) to ensure that only *logically valid* configurations
- * of creation parameters can exist at compile time.
- *
- * Through the Curry–Howard correspondence, this acts as a lightweight proof system:
- * if the code type-checks, then the provided options represent a valid state
- * for note creation — i.e. the combination of fields cannot express an invalid
- * or contradictory configuration.
- *
- * In other words:
- *   - Each variant of `BaseCreateNoteOpts` encodes one valid semantic path.
- *   - The type system statically eliminates impossible states.
- *   - The runtime logic can therefore assume the input is internally consistent.
- *
- * This is why `type` is used instead of `interface`: the goal is type-level proof
- * of validity.
+ * Theoretically: If the typechecking returns no errors, then the inputs
+ * create a valid state, but only if the types are defined correctly.
+ * Through the Curry–Howard correspondence, this kinda acts as a proof system
+ * for correctness of the arguments (I believe that this is the connection here):
+ * that just means that if the code type-checks, then the provided options
+ * represent a valid state. To represent the theoretical bases `type` is
+ * used instead of `interface`
