fix: Run WebSearch before script for better working state

Users now see the script's progress display as the "working state"
while waiting, rather than the WebSearch tool call.

## Research Execution
**Display this to the user immediately:**
**IMPORTANT: Run WebSearch FIRST, then the script.** This way users see our nice progress display as the "working state" while the slower script runs.
**Step 1: Kick off WebSearch** (runs quickly)
- Search for: `{TOPIC} 2026` (or current year) - find 8-15 pages
- Search for: `{TOPIC} best practices tutorial guide` - find 5-10 more
- EXCLUDE reddit.com, x.com, twitter.com (covered by script)
- INCLUDE: blogs, tutorials, docs, news, GitHub repos
**Step 2: Run the research script** (takes longer, shows progress)
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/last30days/scripts/last30days.py "$ARGUMENTS" --emit=compact 2>&1
```
The script displays this progress while running:
```
🚀 Deploying research agents...
├─ 🟠 Reddit Agent: Scanning subreddits for discussions...
└─ 🔵 X Agent: Following the conversation on X...
```
**Run the research script:**
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/last30days/scripts/last30days.py "$ARGUMENTS" --emit=compact 2>&1
```
**Then run WebSearch** (these will show as visible tool calls):
- Search for: `{TOPIC} 2026` (or current year) - find 8-15 pages
- Search for: `{TOPIC} best practices tutorial guide` - find 5-10 more
- EXCLUDE reddit.com, x.com, twitter.com (already covered)
- INCLUDE: blogs, tutorials, docs, news, GitHub repos
**Depth options** (passed through from user's command):
- `--quick` → Faster, fewer sources (8-12 each)
- (default) → Balanced (20-30 each)
