Adds a new export_timeline tool that generates markdown reports from timeline data. Reports include: - Summary stats (event counts, correction rate, sessions) - Daily breakdown with commits, corrections, and errors - Tool usage frequency table - Configurable period (daily/weekly/monthly) - Optional save to ~/.preflight/reports/ Closes #5
Show users what preflight_check actually returns for ambiguous, clear, and cross-service prompts. Helps new users understand the value before installing.
…, what-changed, audit-workspace) Previously these tools had no try/catch — if git commands failed or the workspace was in an unexpected state, they'd crash with an unhandled exception. Now they return helpful error messages with recovery steps. Tools fixed: - checkpoint: most critical — crash during checkpoint means lost context - session-health: called frequently during long sessions - what-changed: fails on shallow clones or repos with few commits - audit-workspace: fails if not in a git repo

The error handling additions to checkpoint, session-health, what-changed, and audit-workspace look solid — actionable error messages instead of raw stack traces is exactly right, especially for checkpoint where a crash means lost context.
One thing: this PR also includes export-timeline.ts (342 lines) and its registration in index.ts, which looks like it belongs in PR #268 (the export_timeline feature PR). Might want to split that out to keep the diff focused on what the title says. As-is, merging this before #268 would create a conflict or duplicate.
