Self-contained implementation spec so an agent can pick this up: make `~/suibase/install` auto-append `~/.local/bin` to the user's shell profile (rustup / `pipx ensurepath` style) instead of aborting with a no-command message when it is not on PATH.

Status: DRAFT — task spec for an agent to implement. Not yet implemented.
What
Make
~/suibase/installfix the PATH for the user automatically (rustup /pipx ensurepathstyle) when~/.local/binis not onPATH, instead of aborting with a bare, no-command message. This branch currently contains only the self-contained spec:docs/dev/INSTALLER_PATH_AUTOFIX_PLAN.md. An agent picks up this branch, implements the change ininstall, adds a test, and pushes here.Why
A first-time user (especially on macOS, where
~/.local/binis not on PATH by default and~/.profileis not read by zsh) currently hitsinstallprinting "Please add~/.local/binto your$PATH" with no command and thenexit 1. The docs only link to a generic StackOverflow page. Popular tools (rustup,pipx ensurepath, Homebrew, deno/bun/uv) either auto-edit the profile or print an exact copy-paste command — never a generic link.Where (already scoped in the spec)
install→setup_local_bin_as_needed()(creates dir, early-returns if on PATH, tries sourcing~/.profile, else prints the bare message andexit 1). It already has a commented-out macOS auto-append stub — replace it with a tested implementation.EXIT_TERMINAL_INSTRUCTIONglobal andis_local_bin_on_path()/echo_infohelpers.Acceptance criteria
~/.local/binnot on PATH →installappendsexport PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"to the correct profile (zsh→~/.zshrc, bash→~/.bashrc/ macOS~/.bash_profile), idempotently, tells the user to restart their shell, and continues (no abort).~/.profile-fix paths unchanged; quiet mode stays quiet.scripts/tests/(temp HOME) covers append + idempotency + non-abort.docs/src/how-to/install.mdto a fallback once auto-fix lands.Full design, edge cases, testing matrix, and references are in the plan doc on this branch.
