Let users install simbroker without building the macOS app - #4
Merged
Conversation
Why: The only install path built the macOS app through XcodeGen and left simbroker off PATH unless the user sourced env.sh. A stranger could not try the CLI without a full app build. Changed: Add install_local.sh --cli-only so the shipped installer copies the Node runtime and writes simbroker without XcodeGen or xcodebuild. Persist PATH through Homebrew prefix bin when that is the install location, or one guarded login-profile snippet for the default user bin directory. --profile keeps tests off the operator login rc. host init --bootstrap-config warns that it creates real Simulator devices before those devices are created. Tests drive the shipped scripts and CLI on isolated prefixes.

Step 3 of the public onboarding sequence. A stranger can install only the CLI, keep
simbrokeron PATH in a new login shell, and see an honest warning beforehost init --bootstrap-configcreates real Simulator devices.Why

simbrokeroff PATH unless the user sourcedenv.sh.What changed
