Update a Mew

A mew author can update the contents of their Mew

Personally I don't really like this. The fact that other people can lick, reply, and quote a mew makes me feel like the content should be static. I think the author should be able to delete a Mew, but not update it.

The way Twitter solves it is by associating reactions of any kind only with a specific version of an edited tweet. They don't show up on an updated version.

But yeah, I'm fine with not allowing updates.

once a mew becomes an entry, updates could add alot of overhead and avenue for spamming/ddos potentially

option 1: short time delay from when a mew is created to when it gets published so author has a few moments to edit (can use a builder pattern)

option 2: only allow "deletes" again there should be limits placed to prevent spamming

option 3: mew becomes immutable only once another agent interacts with it

I really like option 3. Makes a lot of sense to me. If that's what we pick, then it should still allow for deletion even though no more updating.
