## Ejemplo

```python
# Actualizar solo el contenido SQL
updated = metabase_update_snippet(
    client, 42,
    content="WITH supply_full AS (SELECT * FROM supply_orders)",
    description="Version simplificada sin JOINs",
)
print(updated["updated_at"])

# Renombrar
metabase_update_snippet(client, 42, name="supply_orders_simple_cte")

# Mover a otra coleccion
metabase_update_snippet(client, 42, collection_id=7)

# Archivar (o usar metabase_archive_snippet)
metabase_update_snippet(client, 42, archived=True)
```

## Notas

Solo los campos reconocidos (name, content, description, collection_id, archived) se incluyen en el body.
Campos desconocidos en **fields se ignoran silenciosamente para evitar errores 400.
Para archivar en una sola llamada, preferir metabase_archive_snippet.
