fix: clean up HTML error messages in CLI display

When API calls fail with HTML error pages (e.g., CloudFlare errors), the CLI was dumping raw HTML content to users like: 📝 Error: <!DOCTYPE html><!--[if lt IE 7]> <html class="no-js ie6... This commit adds a _clean_error_message() utility method that: - Detects HTML content and replaces with user-friendly message - Collapses multiline errors to single line - Truncates overly long errors (>150 chars) - Preserves meaningful error text for regular errors Applied to all user-facing error displays: - API call failure messages (line 6314) - Interrupt error responses (line 6324) - Invalid response error messages (line 6000) Before: 📝 Error: <!DOCTYPE html><!--[if lt IE 7]>... After: 📝 Error: Service temporarily unavailable (HTML error page returned)
fix(skills): use Git Trees API to prevent silent subdirectory loss during install (#2995 )
