Preferred Export Order
When exporting meetings, use this priority:
- First: Try
--note-title "Eric Binnion" (partial match finds notes prefixed with this)
- Fallback: Use
--transcript if no matching note exists
# Preferred - matches notes like "Eric Binnion - Summary", etc.
quill export --latest --notes --note-title "Eric Binnion"
# Fallback if no Eric Binnion note exists
quill export --latest --transcript
