Encoding

CRITICAL on Windows: Never use Set-Content. Always use:

powershell

[System.IO.File]::WriteAllText($path, $content, [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8)

Workflow

1. Collect today's activities from session context
2. Group by category
3. Generate filename with descriptive title
4. Write using UTF-8 encoding
5. Include tomorrow's action items from pending tasks
