FIX: Critical startup flow issues - terminal crashes, inefficiency, inconsistency

CRITICAL FIXES:
- TERMINAL CRASH: Changed 'exit 1' to 'return 1' in library sourcing (lines 21-25)
  Cause: When launcher.sh sourced from run.sh, 'exit' terminated the parent shell
  Impact: Terminal no longer crashes when libraries fail to load

- CLEANUP FILE PATH: Simplified cleanup file creation to use consistent path
  Old: Created random temp file with mktemp (never checked by run.sh)
  New: Direct creation of /tmp/.cleanup_requested (checked by run.sh)
  Impact: Cleanup now works correctly on exit

HIGH PRIORITY:
- DATABASE QUERY OPTIMIZATION: Replaced 4 separate grep -c calls with single awk pass
  Old: 4 separate grep calls on same file (lines 666-669)
  New: Single awk pass with field counting (line 671)
  Impact: ~75% faster startup detection summary display

MEDIUM PRIORITY:
- CONSISTENT ERROR HANDLING: Standardized all read commands to use explicit failure checks
  Pattern: if ! read ... </dev/tty 2>/dev/null; then ... fi
  Applied to: startup detection prompt (line 681), main menu (line 705), cleanup prompt (line 720)
  Impact: Clearer error handling throughout launcher

- DIRECTORY INITIALIZATION: Moved init_directories out of main loop
  Old: Called on every main() invocation
  New: Called once at startup with error handling
  Impact: Fewer redundant directory creation attempts

- RUN.SH ERROR HANDLING: Added error handling for launcher.sh sourcing
  Added: Check for successful launcher.sh load with helpful error message
  Impact: Better failure diagnostics if launcher fails to load

VERIFICATION:
- Tested startup flow: Launcher initializes without crashes
- Verified menu displays correctly
- Confirmed cleanup file path consistency
- All error handling patterns standardized
