bear_context_triage
Idempotent
Triage inbox files by moving to external with metadata, creating a tagged Bear note, or discarding. All actions regenerate the index.
Instructions
Triage a file in the inbox. Three actions: 'keep' moves it to external/ with optional group/summary metadata. 'push_to_bear' creates a Bear note tagged #context (+ optional subtag) and deletes the inbox file. 'discard' deletes the file. All actions regenerate the index.
