feat: Add automatic retry with simpler query for sparse Reddit results

If initial search returns <5 threads, extract core subject and retry: - "best nano banana prompting practices" → retry with "nano banana" - Combines results from both searches, deduped by URL Note: OpenAI's web_search still tends to find old content. This retry helps cast a wider net but doesn't fully solve the recency issue. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
