noconnorandClaude Opus 4.8 e1515335e8 Self-clone in bootstrap.sh so curl-pipe works; document quick start
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.
