What's happening: The initial welcome message does not explicitly state that the system lacks real-time data capabilities (e.g., weather), causing users to submit requests that trigger declines like the weather inquiry.

Expected behavior: The welcome message should proactively state limitations (e.g., "I cannot access real-time weather data or live feeds. Please ask about topics I can handle.") to prevent invalid requests.

Suggested fix: Modify src/timmy/welcome.py to add the disclaimer to the welcome string. Example change:

WELCOME_MESSAGE = "\nI cannot access real-time weather data or live feeds. Please ask about topics I can handle."

Acceptance criteria: 1. New welcome message includes the disclaimer. 2. A test in tests/timmy/test_welcome.py verifies the disclaimer string exists. 3. Subsequent weather requests are declined with a message referencing the disclaimer (not a generic refusal).
