feat: remove install-time wizard from install.sh now that bare 'supermodel' auto-dispatches #153

Description

Background

PR #152 landed bare supermodel auto-dispatch: if you have no API key and stdin is a TTY, running supermodel drops into the setup wizard. This makes the explicit supermodel setup call at the end of install.sh redundant.

Current flow (after PR #152)

curl -fsSL https://supermodeltools.com/install | sh
  → installs binary
  → immediately runs: supermodel setup </dev/tty   ← wizard runs at install time
cd your/repo
supermodel   ← would run watch (already authenticated)

Better flow

curl -fsSL https://supermodeltools.com/install | sh
  → installs binary
  → prints: "Run 'supermodel' inside your project to get started."
cd your/repo
supermodel   ← wizard runs here, in the right directory context, then transitions to watch

Why this matters

  • Install-time wizard runs in whatever directory the user installed from, not their project. Any repo-detection or hook installation during setup targets the wrong directory.
  • Running the wizard twice (if user cancels at install time and re-runs) is confusing.
  • The project-directory context is the right moment to run setup — the wizard auto-starts watch in that directory immediately after.

Action

  • Remove the supermodel setup </dev/tty block from install.sh
  • Replace with a post-install message: e.g. echo 'Run supermodel inside your project directory to get started.'
  • Update docs accordingly
