feat: v3.0.0 - intelligent search, GitHub person/project mode, ELI5, 13+ sources

v3 rewrites the search engine from the ground up:

- Intelligent pre-research: resolves X handles, GitHub repos, subreddits,
  TikTok hashtags, and YouTube channels before searching
- GitHub person-mode: PR velocity, top repos by stars, release notes
- GitHub project-mode: live star counts, README, releases, top issues
- ELI5 mode: plain language synthesis, no jargon
- 13+ sources: Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, HN, Polymarket,
  GitHub, Threads, Pinterest, Perplexity, Bluesky, Web
- Free Reddit comments via public JSON (no API key needed)
- Fun judge v2: humor scoring baked into narrative
- Cookie consent before browser scanning
- 10,000 free ScrapeCreators calls
- 1,012 tests

Thank you to the community contributors whose issues and PRs shaped v3:
@uppinote20 (#143), @zerone0x (#134, #136), @thinkun (#116),
@thomasmktong (#124), @fanispoulinakisai-boop (#100), @pejmanjohn (#78),
@zl190 (#115), @hnshah (#84, #85, #86)

"""Topic watchlist management for last30days.
"""Topic watchlist management for last30days."""
CLI for adding, removing, and listing watched topics with auto-bootstrap.
On first `add`, creates the SQLite database.
Usage:

python3 watchlist.py add "NVIDIA news" --weekly
python3 watchlist.py remove "AI video tools"
python3 watchlist.py list
python3 watchlist.py run-all
python3 watchlist.py run-one "AI video tools"
python3 watchlist.py config delivery telegram
python3 watchlist.py config budget 10.00
