Fewer commands, fewer accidents

We took /status, /recover and /reset out of /CMD-Note, and export now matches what's on your screen.

/CMD-Note runs on commands. You type into the same box where you write your notes, and a slash at the start turns a line into an action. That's the whole idea, and it's why we try to keep the list short.

For a while the list was longer than it should have been. /status, /recover and /reset sat right next to search and export. Some of them were diagnostics we needed while building, and some of them were destructive. Neither kind belongs one typo away from where you write.

So we took them out, and the help note you get from /? no longer lists them. What's left is the short list you'd actually reach for day to day.

While we were in there, we made export honest about what it's exporting. Search for something, run /exp, and you get the notes you're looking at, not everything you've ever written. Clear the search and export again, and you get the full list. What you see is what you export.

Removing things is less fun than adding them. But in an app with no menus, every command is something you can trigger just by typing, so the surest way to prevent an accident is to not have that command at all.
