Matt Van Horn 5e5d586f7d fix: triage all 16 open GitHub issues — close 9, fix 6, comment 1
Batch 1 (closed): #43 spam, #34 dup, #19 resolved, #2 resolved, #41 answered
Batch 2: Added MIT LICENSE file (#35), closed #42 (license question)
Batch 3 code fixes:
  - #29: YouTube skip reason shows "0 results" instead of "not installed"
  - #30: Bird source mapping handles reddit-web + Bird combo
  - #39: watchlist.py extracts YouTube + TikTok findings, run-one prints output
  - #40: watchlist.py uses search_queries field when available
Batch 4:
  - #32: marketplace.json source "." → "./" with $schema ref
  - #36: commented with investigation plan ($ARGUMENTS forwarding)
  - #4: Added SSL troubleshooting section to README
Also commented on #22 (Bird features) and #31 (skills.sh audit).
