Adds --all, --max-pages, and --cursor options to search command, enabling users to fetch all search results through automatic pagination. Follows the same pattern as bookmarks pagination for consistency.
Completely rewrites the news command to fetch from multiple Explore tabs
(For You, News, Sports, Entertainment) using GenericTimelineById GraphQL
API instead of just the ExplorePage initialTimeline. This delivers 15+
AI-curated headlines instead of 3, a 5x improvement in content discovery.
Key Changes:
- Add GenericTimelineById query ID support with auto-refresh capability
- Implement multi-tab fetching with cross-tab headline deduplication
- Add CLI flags for granular tab filtering (--for-you, --news-only,
--sports, --entertainment, --trending-only)
- Fetch from 4 tabs by default (excludes trending to reduce noise)
- Add early stopping optimization when count is reached
- Handle tab-level errors gracefully without failing entire request
Implementation:
- Added TIMELINE_IDS constant with base64 timeline identifiers
- Created fetchTimelineTab() method for GenericTimelineById requests
- Created parseTimelineTabItems() for new response structure
- Removed old parseNewsItems() and extractNewsItemsFromInstructions()
- Updated all 7 tests to mock GenericTimelineById responses
API Changes:
- NewsFetchOptions: Added `tabs?: ExploreTab[]` option
- ExploreTab type exported for library consumers
- Backward compatible - existing code continues to work
Documentation:
- Added comprehensive "News & Trending" section with examples
- Updated command reference with all new flags
- Added library usage examples with tab filtering
- Updated JSON schema documentation
Testing:
- All 268 tests passing
- Real-world verified: fetches 15+ AI headlines across tabs
- Tab filtering verified: --sports, --entertainment, etc all work

Add comprehensive news/trending feature that fetches AI-generated news
headlines from Twitter's "For You" page. This feature specifically
targets the AI-curated news items that Twitter displays under "Today's
News" section, not generic trending hashtags.
- Uses Twitter's ExplorePage GraphQL API endpoint to access the Explore
page timeline data where AI headlines are located
- AI headlines are identified by the explicit `is_ai_trend: true` flag
in the API response
- Fallback heuristic detection for full-sentence headlines (5+ words)
with "News" or time indicators in social context
- Headlines are found in "stories-*" modules within the initialTimeline
structure under a "Today's News" header
- Follows the existing mixin pattern (withNews) for composability
- Supports both AI-only filtering and mixed trending/AI results
- `bird news` - Fetch news and trending topics (mixed results)
- `bird news --ai-only` - Fetch ONLY AI-curated headlines
- `bird news -n <count>` - Limit number of results
- `bird news --json` - Output as JSON
- `bird news --json-full` - Include raw API response
- `bird news --with-tweets` - Enrich with related tweets
- `bird trending` - Alias for news command
- AI headlines are clearly marked with "AI · " category prefix
- Automatic deduplication of duplicate headlines
- Rich formatting with category, time, post count, and URLs
- src/commands/news.ts - CLI command implementation
- src/lib/twitter-client-news.ts - Core news fetching functionality
- tests/commands.news.test.ts - Command validation tests (7 tests)
- tests/twitter-client-coverage.news.test.ts - API coverage tests (7 tests)
- README.md - Added documentation for news command
- src/cli/program.ts - Registered news command
- src/lib/index.ts - Exported news-related types
- src/lib/twitter-client.ts - Integrated withNews mixin
- src/lib/query-ids.json - Added ExplorePage query ID
- src/lib/twitter-client-constants.ts - Added ExplorePage constant
- src/lib/twitter-client-features.ts - Added buildExploreFeatures()
- scripts/update-query-ids.ts - Added ExplorePage to update script
- All 268 existing tests continue to pass
- Added 14 new tests covering command validation and API functionality
- Tested with real Twitter data confirming AI headline detection
- All TypeScript compilation and linting checks pass

Add two new commands to list users:
- `bird following` - list users that you (or another user) follow
- `bird followers` - list users that follow you (or another user)
Both commands support:
- `--user <userId>` to query another user's following/followers
- `-n <count>` to limit results
- `--json` for structured output
Uses Twitter's GraphQL Following/Followers endpoints with proper
feature flags and query ID rotation support.
