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)

- src/cli/program.ts - Registered news command
- src/lib/index.ts - Exported news-related types

- src/lib/twitter-client-features.ts - Added buildExploreFeatures()
- scripts/update-query-ids.ts - Added ExplorePage to update script

Add support for extracting rich content from X's long-form tweets,
including embedded code snippets, markdown blocks, quoted tweets,
and other structured content that was previously lost.
Changes:
- Add fieldToggles with withArticleRichContentState to TweetDetail API request
- Implement Draft.js content_state parser (renderContentState) that converts
blocks and entities to readable markdown format
- Add content_state type definition to GraphqlTweetResult
Supported content:
- Block types: paragraphs, headers, ordered/unordered lists, blockquotes
- Entity types: MARKDOWN (code blocks), DIVIDER, TWEET, LINK, IMAGE
No impact on regular tweets - rich content only adds payload when present.
Includes 20 unit tests for the parser and an opt-in live smoke test.

The article type had title defined twice (at lines 83 and 135), causing
TypeScript compilation to fail with TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'title'.

- Use startsWith check instead of fragile length heuristic for
detecting full article body vs preview mode
- Add media display for quote tweets (🖼️/🎬/🔄 indicators)
- Add preview_text to GraphqlTweetResult type definition to avoid
type assertions

Enhance the text output format to show more useful information:
- Article tweets: Show 📰 indicator with title + preview text in feeds,
full body when reading single tweets
- Quote tweets: Display quoted content with ┌─ QT @user formatting
- Media: Show 🖼️/🎬/🔄 indicators with URLs for photos/videos/GIFs
Also refactors single tweet read to use shared printTweets function
for consistent formatting.
Matches Twitter's UI terminology ("For You" vs "Following" tabs),
making the flag immediately understandable to users.

Follow the pattern from twitter-client-timelines.ts where query ID
methods are private to the mixin that uses them, rather than protected
in the base class.
