Subject: [PATCH] Refresh checklist.md for current tooling

- Remove steps now automated by assimilate.sh (oh-my-zsh, zsh plugins, brew
  bundle, Nerd Font, tpm, Packer)
- Add Ghostty, Zed, and Claude Code install steps
- Replace pinned Nerd Font v2.3.3 reference with a note that brew bundle
  installs it (cask font-hack-nerd-font)
- Add a header noting assimilate.sh handles most setup automatically

 # Checklist
 
+> **Most setup is automated by [`assimilate.sh`](./assimilate.sh).** It symlinks
+> all dotfiles and installs oh-my-zsh, Homebrew packages (`brew bundle`), Rust,
+> git-delta, tmux plugin manager + plugins, and bootstraps the Neovim plugin
+> manager. The steps below are the manual bits that can't be scripted.
