feat(brief): auto-refresh the Boomer 'Deal of the Day' — pull-deals chains generateBrief() after writing deals.json (dedupe-guarded → spends ~$0.15 ONLY when the top deal changes; NON-FATAL so a TTS error never breaks the crawl). Keeps /brief current on prod via the existing pull-deals cron — no crontab edit. gen-deal-brief refactored to export generateBrief() + run standalone only when invoked directly. 64/0.
