+Bitcoin Apps Directory Monitor

+Autonomous health check for bitcoinapps.info

+Reads src/data/apps.json and checks:
+1. URL health — are all app URLs still online?
+2. GitHub activity — are open-source repos still active?
+
+GitHub repos come from the "github" field in apps.json — single source of truth.
