Matt Van Horn 994a4ab2ca feat(polymarket): add Polymarket prediction markets as 6th research source
Search Polymarket's free Gamma API for relevant prediction markets on any
topic. Uses smart multi-query expansion to cast a wider net (e.g., "Arizona
Basketball" also searches "Arizona"), merges and dedupes by event ID, and
shows price movement context ("up 22.5% this week"). No API key required.

Also hides sources with zero results from the stats output (all sources).

54 new tests, all passing. Full pipeline integration with scoring, dedupe,
cross-source linking, and rendering.
