Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 02b93

This documentation-only change adds migration guidance, but several statements and an example command are currently too broad or potentially incorrect, which could mislead users or cause a documented command to fail. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to correct these bounded documentation issues and add code-fence language identifiers.

Add language identifiers to the new fenced code blocks.

markdownlint reports MD040 for these fences. Add shell after each opening fence to remove the warnings and enable consistent command highlighting.

Also applies to: 143-143, 160-160, 167-167, 177-177, 187-187, 199-199, 206-206, 220-220, 236-236

In `@site/content/contribute/more-info/server/cli-commands.md`:
- Line 130: Clarify the legacy metadata fallback statement to apply only to
single-team scoped exports. Update the description around ExportScopeAdditional
and --destination-team-name so multi-team exports still require the documented
failure behavior, while legacy single-team exports infer the source team from
the first team entry.
- Line 204: Update the “Monitor the job” step to qualify checkpoint detection
and resume prompts: state that they apply only to imports with at least 100 MB
of uncompressed JSONL, the same filename, and an interactive terminal.
- Around line 230-231: Update the mmctl export download example to use the
export name returned by mmctl export list as its first argument, while retaining
or clearly separating the desired local destination filename as the second
argument.
