Citations & URNs

Internal database IDs change across re-imports. URNs are the stable handle for agents, notes, and share links.

sutraya:<scheme>/<workRef>[:<position>][#<anchor>]
Piece Meaning
scheme Upstream namespace (sc, cbeta, 84000, gretil, work, …)
workRef Upstream work id or slug
position Passage position (colon-separated)
anchor Optional fragment

Position uses : because some upstream ids already contain . (e.g. sn12.2).
