## Known Issues & Patterns

- Windows terminal uses git-bash/MSYS, not PowerShell — POSIX syntax only.
- Python 3.11 installed, pip missing, uv installed as package manager.
- OCR/screenshot extraction: install easyocr at runtime (needs PyTorch deps).
- Reddit and some sites block requests aggressively — use user-agent or alternative sources.
