What export_decision_record does on Todos

Why export_decision_record is rated Low
Exporting a record is a read/retrieval operation that serializes existing data into a file format (Markdown or JSON). While it writes a file locally, the primary action is reading/exporting existing decision record data without modifying the source data. Severity is low as misuse would only result in local file creation.
