feat(herdr): add herdr topic installer to dot workflow#49
Merged
Conversation
Add a `herdr/` topic that installs the herdr CLI via the upstream curl installer when missing, and self-updates it via the built-in `herdr update` command on `dot update`. Wired into bin/dot's cmd_install and cmd_update via the existing DOT_MODE branching pattern. Failures warn and continue, never aborting the broader dot run.
