Adds agent_reach/transcribe.py (download → compress → chunk → transcribe with provider fallback, fully mocked tests). Maintainer follow-up on the branch: wired an agent-reach transcribe CLI subcommand + skill docs so agents can actually invoke it, added the missing configure openai-key branch the error hint referenced, removed two dead static methods. 103 tests pass; wheel-gate clean.
Reddit blocks nearly all non-browser access at IP level (including ISP proxies).
Switch Reddit channel to use Exa exclusively:
- Search: web_search_exa with includeDomains: ["reddit.com"]
- Read: crawling_exa for full post + comments
- check() now verifies Exa availability instead of probing Reddit API
- tier changed from 1 (needs config) to 0 (zero config)
- Removed reddit_proxy from config, CLI, and setup guide
- Updated all docs (README, README_en, install.md, SKILL.md, references)
- Fixed xreach→bird references in references/social.md
Fixes#218, Fixes#222, Fixes#221

- Replace xreach CLI with bird (@steipete/bird) as Twitter/X backend
- bird uses AUTH_TOKEN/CT0 env vars (simpler than xreach's session.json)
- Accept both 'bird' and 'birdx' binary names
- Remove version detection logic (bird v0.8.0 is the baseline)
- Write credentials.env to ~/.config/bird/ for easy sourcing
- Keep xfetch session.json sync for backward compatibility
- Update SKILL.md commands: bird search/read/user-tweets/thread
- Update install/uninstall to use npm @steipete/bird
- All 52 tests pass
- YouTube: warn when only Node.js is installed but yt-dlp config file
is missing (previously returned "ok" incorrectly)
- Douyin: use `mcporter list` instead of calling with a hardcoded
invalid share URL that always fails
- cli: replace bare `except:` with `except Exception:` in
`_detect_environment` to avoid catching KeyboardInterrupt/SystemExit
- cli: fix unclosed file handle for cloud VM detection
- config: use `os.open()` with 0o600 mode to eliminate permission
race window when saving credentials
