fix: add timeouts, process cleanup, and source diagnostics

Script was hanging indefinitely when API sources were slow or
unresponsive. Now enforces bounded execution:

- Global timeout watchdog (180s default, 90s --quick, 300s --deep)
- Per-source future.result() timeouts (60s/30s/90s by depth)
- Parallel Reddit enrichment capped at 15 items / 45s total
- Subprocess process-group isolation (os.setsid + killpg)
- atexit cleanup kills all tracked child processes
- --timeout=N flag for user override

Also fixes the UX gap where missing sources were silently skipped:

- Pre-flight diagnostic banner shows source status before research
- Source status footer in compact output shows used/skipped/why
- Actionable fix commands for each missing source
