feat: one-click cookie import from browser

New: agent-eyes configure --from-browser chrome
- Extracts Twitter, XiaoHongShu, Bilibili cookies in ONE command
- No F12, no manual copying, no extension needed
- Supports: chrome, firefox, edge, brave, opera
- Uses browser-cookie3 (optional dependency: pip install agent-eyes[cookies])

Install guide now 3x shorter:
1. pip install + agent-eyes install (auto-detect env)
2. agent-eyes configure --from-browser chrome (one-click all cookies)
3. agent-eyes configure exa-key KEY (one API key)
4. Done

User actions reduced from 4 trips to 2:
- Before: go to exa.ai + F12 Twitter + F12 XHS + go to webshare.io
- After: go to exa.ai + say 'yes' to auto-import cookies

Install Agent Eyes and set it up with minimal user effort.
### Step 1: Install and check

agent-eyes install --env=auto
```
That's it. This installs the package, auto-detects the environment, and shows what's working.
### Step 2: One-click cookie import (LOCAL COMPUTERS ONLY)
### Step 2: Tell user what's ready + offer ONE upgrade
If the environment was detected as **local**, offer to grab all cookies at once:
Tell the user what already works, then offer the single highest-value upgrade:
> "I can automatically import your cookies from Chrome to unlock Twitter, XiaoHongShu, and Bilibili — all at once, one command. Want me to do that?
> (Make sure Chrome is closed first)"
> "✅ Agent Eyes installed! Here's what I can already do:
> - Read web pages, GitHub repos, RSS feeds, YouTube transcripts
> - Read individual tweets
>
> **Want me to unlock search too?** One free API key lets me search the entire web, Reddit, and Twitter for you.
> Just go to https://exa.ai → sign up (free, 1000 searches/month) → send me the API key.
>
> Or say 'skip' and I'm ready to use as-is."
If yes:
```bash
pip install browser-cookie3
agent-eyes configure --from-browser chrome
```
If the user provides a key:
This extracts cookies for ALL supported platforms in one shot. No F12, no manual copying.
If user uses a different browser:
```bash
agent-eyes configure --from-browser firefox # or edge, brave, opera
```
If the environment is **server** or the user declines, skip to Step 3.
### Step 3: Offer search upgrade
> "Want to unlock web search? One free API key lets me search the entire web, Reddit, and Twitter.
> → Go to https://exa.ai → sign up (free) → send me the API key.
> Or say 'skip'."
If user provides key:
```bash
agent-eyes configure exa-key THE_KEY
```
If the user says skip, move to Step 4.
### Step 4: Server-only — offer proxy
### Step 3: Offer additional channels
Only if auto-detected as server:
After Exa is configured (or skipped), briefly mention what else is available:
> "I can also unlock these with cookies from your browser (2 min each):
> 🐦 **Twitter** deep search — timelines, threads, advanced search
> 📕 **XiaoHongShu** — read notes and comments
>
> Want any of these? Or say 'done' and we're good to go."
Only proceed with channels the user explicitly asks for.
#### How to get cookies (for any platform)
When the user wants to set up a cookie-based channel, give them the SIMPLEST method:
**Method 1 — Browser extension (easiest):**
> "Install the 'Cookie-Editor' extension for Chrome/Firefox (free). Open [the site], click the extension icon, click 'Export' → 'Header String'. Paste it to me."
**Method 2 — Manual (if they don't want to install an extension):**
> "Open [the site] in Chrome. Press F12. Click 'Application' tab at the top. Click 'Cookies' on the left. Find and copy the values I need."
#### Twitter setup
Cookie-Editor export, or manually copy **auth_token** and **ct0** from x.com cookies.
```bash
agent-eyes configure twitter-cookies AUTH_TOKEN CT0
```
#### XiaoHongShu setup
Cookie-Editor export the full cookie string from xiaohongshu.com.
```bash
agent-eyes configure xhs-cookie COOKIE_STRING
```
#### YouTube (only mention if user has age-restricted video needs)
No cookies needed for public videos. For age-restricted/member content:
```bash
agent-eyes configure youtube-cookies chrome
```
(yt-dlp reads cookies directly from the browser — just tell it which browser)
#### Bilibili
- Local computer: already works
- Server: needs proxy (see below)
#### Reddit full reader + Bilibili on server
Only offer this if `agent-eyes install` detected server environment:
> "Reddit and Bilibili block server IPs. Reddit search already works (via Exa), but for reading full posts you'd need a $1/month proxy from https://webshare.io. Want to set that up?"
> "Reddit and Bilibili block server IPs. Reddit search still works free via Exa, but for full access you'd need a cheap proxy ($1/month).
> → Get one at https://webshare.io if interested. Or skip — search still works!"
If user provides proxy:
```bash
agent-eyes configure proxy http://user:pass@ip:port
```
### Step 4: Done
### Step 5: Done
```bash
agent-eyes doctor
```
Summarize naturally:
> "✅ Ready! Here's everything I can do: [list channels]. Try asking me to search or read something!"
> "✅ All set! [list what's active]. Try asking me to search or read something!"
**Remember**: the user can always come back and say "set up Twitter" or "add a proxy" later. You just run the corresponding `agent-eyes configure` command.
**Users can always configure more later** by saying things like "set up Twitter for Agent Eyes" or "add my XiaoHongShu cookies".
