Pomodoro Workflow

When the user asks for pomodoro:

Start 25-minute work timer
Notify when work session ends
Start 5-minute break timer
Notify when break ends
Repeat (ask user after 4 cycles if they want a 15-min long break)

Guidelines

Always confirm the timer was set with the exact duration
Use
```
&
```
to run in background so the terminal stays responsive
Default sound:
```
default
```
for timers,
```
Purr
```
for pomodoro
If
```
terminal-notifier
```
is not installed, fall back to
```
say
```
command
For "remind me in X minutes", treat as a timer
Convert natural language: "half hour" = 1800s, "quarter hour" = 900s
