file T-256: flag dev-tree vs production clide path for the install affordance

Browse Source 
Captured during T-212. The install affordance and `make run` resolve the
dev-tree C client; on a dev machine `clide` on PATH should prefer the
properly-installed production build. Low priority, no user-facing breakage.

Net: `which clide` -> not found, `clide ping` -> exit 127. The CLI-first contract (D-1) has no delivery mechanism.

The Install-clide-command affordance copies whatever CliInstaller resolves as the bundled C client into ~/.local/bin, and ''make run'' points CLIDE_CLI_BIN at the dev-tree client (native/<plat>/clide). On a normal user machine that is correct: the bundled client beside the GUI runner IS the production build. But on a clide DEV system the clide on PATH should point at the properly-installed production build, not a dev-tree binary or stale build artefact. CliInstaller.inspect only classifies missing / staleGui (points into the Flutter bundle) / installed, and treats any non-GUI binary as installed without distinguishing dev-tree vs a real install. Good enough for now per the user; the affordance works for end users and fixes the stale-GUI-symlink footgun.
