1. Output order: What I learned → TARGET TOOL → KEY PATTERNS → Research Complete → Share vision
2. Fixed Reddit returning empty results - OpenAI was finding URLs but not extracting content
- Updated prompt to explicitly require extraction from search results
- Added "MUST include threads" instruction to prevent empty items

The Report.to_dict() serializes range as {from, to} but constructor
expects range_from/range_to. Added from_dict() classmethod to properly
deserialize cached data, reconstructing all nested objects (Engagement,
Comment, SubScores, RedditItem, XItem).

- SKILL.md: Move "What I learned" BEFORE "Research Complete" stats
- Add error tracking to Report schema (reddit_error, x_error fields)
- Wrap OpenAI API calls in try/catch with clear error messages
- Show explicit error or "no results" messages in compact output
- Fix false positive error detection for null error fields

- quick: 8-12 sources each, faster response
- default: 20-30 sources each (unchanged behavior)
- deep: 50-70 Reddit, 40-60 X for comprehensive research
Adjusts API timeouts based on depth. Cache keys include depth
so different depths are cached separately.
