feat: improve startup header and trim dead config

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -11,4 +11,7 @@ All notable user-visible changes to this project are documented in this file.
 
 ### Changed
 
+- Discover skills dynamically in the startup header and show analyzed episodes from `dist/analysis/`, so returning users can see what already exists.
+- Remove the unused `[outputs]`, `[transcription]`, and `[video_scan]` sections from `podguy.example.toml`; document which sections are read by code vs. by the agent.

 ### Fixed
