When Python's SSL cert store is not configured (common on macOS after fresh Python install), tracking silently fails. This change: - Detects CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED errors specifically - Writes ~/.fyso/ssl-error.log with fix instructions (macOS + generic) - On subsequent runs, exits early with a visible stderr warning - Users clear the flag file after fixing to re-enable tracking
