Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: ensure_path checks rc file, not runtime PATH

When the user manually exports PATH before running install.sh via pipe,
the subprocess inherits that PATH. The old runtime check (case ":$PATH:")
would return early without modifying .zshrc, leaving future terminal
sessions without axme in PATH.

Now we only check the rc file for duplicates, which is the correct
persistent indicator.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix: add source hint after install and in README

- ensure_path now prints "source ~/.zshrc" hint after modifying rc file
- README install block includes source command
