Context

Meeting notes keep transcripts and summaries for as long as the user chooses (0059). Summaries could be kept forever, but transcripts only up to a year. The transcript is stored with its meeting, and retention deleted whole meetings when their summary's time was up, so a transcript kept longer than its summary would have gone with it.

Decision

Settings › Meeting notes offers Forever (36,500 days) for transcripts, as it does for summaries. Retention deletes a transcript after the transcript setting, and a whole meeting with its summary only after the longer of the two settings (AiSettings::meeting_cutoffs). Keep transcript on one meeting still keeps that transcript as long as the meeting.

Consequences

Transcripts kept forever stay until the user deletes them, with their meetings.
A summary can outlive its own setting while its transcript is kept. Settings says so under the summaries choice, and the Meetings list states the combined rule in one sentence.
Keeping transcripts longer keeps more text on disk; the privacy policy says either can be kept until deleted.
