New bin/install.sh downloads self-contained release binaries (ripgrep, fd,
bat, fzf, jq) into ~/.local/bin — no sudo, nothing outside $HOME, so they
persist across Kasm redeploys with no reinstall. Statically linked where
available, so they keep working even after the root fs is wiped. Idempotent:
pinned versions already present are skipped.
lib/fetch.sh adds arch detection + tarball/raw binary download helpers.
zsh/zshrc puts ~/.local/bin on PATH; bootstrap.sh runs the module.

Piping bootstrap.sh into sh left $0 as a non-path, so SCRIPT_DIR pointed
at the caller's cwd and the module scripts couldn't be found (exit 127).
When no checkout is present, clone/update the repo into ~/.dotfiles and
re-exec from there. Add a Quick start section to the README.

Cross-distro (RHEL/Debian) VM setup: zsh + oh-my-zsh with a self-healing
bash fallback for environments that reset the root filesystem or hardcode
bash for new terminals (e.g. Kasm Workspaces), plus git identity and
HTTPS credential-store configuration.
