Clarify the post-install instruction for using netclaw in the current shell.

The installer cannot modify the parent shell's PATH (curl | bash runs in a child subprocess), so it prints a source line for the user. This change rewords it in all three shell branches (bash, zsh, fish) to:

  • To use it now in this shell, run (safe to re-run anytime):

This tells the user the line is idempotent and safe to re-run, instead of implying PATH is broken and needs updating.

The env file (~/.netclaw/env) is itself idempotent — it checks whether the bin dir is already on PATH and no-ops if so.

Verified with bash -n scripts/install.sh.
