Document the one-command install now that v0.1.0 is released - #75

docs/install.md opens with "Install a release": - `curl -fsSL https://colonizer.dev/install.sh | sh`; - what the installer checks and where it installs; - the two things it fetches from Anthropic's own channels, since a release carries no Anthropic code; - updating by running it again; - how to install a particular version, or pull the colony image up front. The build steps are now "Build from source". "What you need" separates what a release needs (git, gh, curl, tar) from what a source build adds (Node.js 20+, Rust 1.88+). "Where things live" and "Updating" cover both ways. The README's "Run it" leads with the one command, with the source build under it. v0.1.0 was installed from the published release into an empty HOME on an Apple Silicon Mac (52 s): it fetched the SDK and Claude Code 2.1.267, started, and reported agentd, the web UI, the claude-code module, the guest Claude binary and msb 0.6.18. The Linux release is smoke-tested in CI but hasn't been installed on a Linux machine yet. colonizer.dev/install.sh is added by the website.

The build steps are now "Build from source". "What you need" separates what a
release needs (git, gh, curl, tar) from what a source build adds (Node.js 20+,
Rust 1.88+). "Where things live" and "Updating" cover both ways. The README's
"Run it" leads with the one command, with the source build under it.
v0.1.0 was installed from the published release into an empty HOME on an Apple
Silicon Mac (52 s): it fetched the SDK and Claude Code 2.1.267, started, and
reported agentd, the web UI, the claude-code module, the guest Claude binary
and msb 0.6.18. The Linux release is smoke-tested in CI but hasn't been installed
on a Linux machine yet. colonizer.dev/install.sh is added by the website.
