feat(release): v2.9.4 - move save into Python script, zero post-invitation noise

Browse Source 
Add --save-dir flag to last30days.py that saves raw research output
during the existing script run. Remove entire "Save Research to
Documents" section from SKILL.md (~45 lines). No more extra tool
calls, no (No output), no multi-minute cogitation after invitation.

Tested: --mock confirms file creation and duplicate date suffixing.

## Save Research to Documents
After displaying the invitation, save the complete research briefing to `~/Documents/Last30Days/`. This happens automatically on every run.
**Generate the filename** from TOPIC:
- Lowercase, replace spaces/special chars with hyphens, remove consecutive hyphens, trim to 60 chars
- Example: "Claude Code Best Practices" → `claude-code-best-practices.md`
- If file already exists, append today's date: `{slug}-YYYY-MM-DD.md`
**End your invitation with a single `📎` footer line:**
```
📎 ~/Documents/Last30Days/{slug}.md
```
**Then save using a foreground Bash command** (cat is instant - no delay):
```bash
mkdir -p ~/Documents/Last30Days && cat > ~/Documents/Last30Days/{slug}.md << 'RESEARCH_EOF'
# {TOPIC}
> Researched {date} | Query type: {QUERY_TYPE} | Target tool: {TARGET_TOOL or "general"}
## What I learned
{The full synthesis section you just displayed - all topics, patterns, and citations}
## Stats
{The full stats box with source counts and engagement - copy exactly as displayed}
## Follow-up suggestions

**CRITICAL RULES:**
1. NEVER use the `Write` tool - it displays "Wrote N lines..." which clutters the output
2. NEVER use `run_in_background: true` - background callbacks cause the model to re-engage, hallucinate fake user messages, and generate unsolicited responses
3. Use FOREGROUND Bash with `cat >` - it executes instantly (sub-second) and produces no output
4. The `📎` line is part of your text message, not a separate tool call
5. Do NOT output any text after the save Bash call. No "saved", no "ready for questions", nothing.

## WAIT FOR USER'S RESPONSE
**STOP and wait** for the user to respond. Do NOT generate any text after the save.
**STOP and wait** for the user to respond. Do NOT call any tools after displaying the invitation. The research script already saved raw data to `~/Documents/Last30Days/` via `--save-dir`.
