CLI Config Export

`ed config export`

Prints the settings you have changed as one JSON document, ready for ed config import on another Mac.

ed config export [--defaults] > edith.json

Option	Type / values	Default	What it does
`--defaults`	flag	`false`	Include settings still at their default

This is the one command in the group with no --json, because all of its output is JSON already; passing the flag exits 2. The document is an object of key to current value, keys sorted, which is exactly the shape ed schema describes.

{
  "budgetCapPercent": 90,
  "clipboardEnabled": true,
  "clipboardMaxItems": 500,
  "limitsProvider": "claude",
  "presenterEnabled": true,
  "preventSleep": true,
  "tabMachinesEnabled": true,
  "tabUsageEnabled": true
}

ed config export > edith.json
ed config export --defaults > everything.json
ed config export | jq 'keys | length'

Read-only keys and the two map settings are never exported, with or without --defaults, because neither can be imported: that leaves 177 exportable keys of the 201. Without --defaults you get only the ones carrying a value of their own, which is a much shorter list and is the one worth moving between Macs.
