Storage Optimization

# Check Notes storage usage
osascript -l JavaScript -e "
  const Notes = Application(\"Notes\");
  const notes = Notes.defaultAccount.notes();
  let totalChars = 0;
  notes.forEach(n => { totalChars += n.body().length; });
  \`${notes.length} notes, ~${Math.round(totalChars / 1024)}KB of text content\`;
"

# Large notes (>100KB body — usually have embedded images)
osascript -l JavaScript -e "
  const Notes = Application(\"Notes\");
  Notes.defaultAccount.notes()
    .filter(n => n.body().length > 100000)
    .map(n => \`\${n.name()} (${Math.round(n.body().length/1024)}KB)\`)
    .join(\"\\n\");
