### Examples

```bash theme={null}
# Show synthesis only
dissent show abcd1234

# Show all rounds
dissent show abcd1234 --verbose

# Export as JSON
dissent show abcd1234 --output json

# Export full transcript to markdown file
dissent show abcd1234 --verbose --output markdown --file debate.md
```

### Notes

Transcripts are stored at `~/.mutual-dissent/transcripts/` as `YYYY-MM-DD_shortid.json`. Partial ID matching works on the short ID embedded in the filename — the prefix must be at least 4 characters. If multiple transcripts match, use a longer prefix.
