docs: drop paste-install alternative from README#33
Merged
Conversation
The clone-based install is the only supported path that the status line's update-check flow and the 'Find my installed status bar and update it' Claude prompt rely on. Keeping a paste-install alternative in the README advertised a flow that skips 'git pull' and leaves users stranded on an older copy the next time the update line surfaces. Drop the section and the '(for the recommended install)' qualifier on the git requirement that only made sense while a non-git path existed.

Since the paste-install alternative is gone (PR daniel3303#33), the clone flow is the only install path. The 'Recommended: clone and let Claude configure it' subheading now sits under ## Installation with nothing to be recommended over, so the qualifier reads as leftover copy. Remove the h3 and let the install section's single flow hang directly off ## Installation.
