Docs-only fix for #6176.

README said run hive open from the project directory, but the in-repo hive wrapper (quickstart.sh symlinks it to ~/.local/bin/hive, on PATH) hard-fails unless pwd exactly equals the repo root. Clarifies: root requirement, hive (PATH) vs ./hive (in-repo) invocation. No code change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the Quick Start guide with clearer instructions for running the hive CLI.
    • Clarified that commands must be run from the repository root.
    • Documented installation to ~/.local/bin, PATH setup, and supported command formats.

…#6176)

README tip said 'run hive open from the project directory', but the hive
wrapper hard-fails unless cwd exactly equals the repo root, and quickstart
installs the CLI to ~/.local/bin (on PATH). Clarify root requirement and
the hive vs ./hive invocation. Docs-only.

CLI Quick Start Guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document repository-root CLI usage
README.md
The Quick Start section explains that the hive CLI must run from the repository root. It documents hive open and ./hive open usage.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d27d1

The README currently implies that installation adds the CLI directory to PATH, which can leave users unable to run the documented command, and it contains a markdown formatting violation. Merge should wait for these fixes.

command to avoid claiming quickstart adds ~/.local/bin to PATH; state that users

> Since quickstart installs `hive` into `~/.local/bin` (added to your PATH), you can run
> `hive open` from the repo root, or `./hive open` when using the in-repo wrapper directly.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not state that quickstart adds ~/.local/bin to PATH.

quickstart.sh only checks whether this directory is already in PATH. If it is absent, the script prints instructions but does not add it. The documented hive open command can therefore fail with command not found after installation. State that the directory may need to be added to PATH, or update the installer to configure it.

Remove the blank line inside the blockquote.

The blank quoted line at Line 137 triggers markdownlint MD028. Remove it or move the Tip paragraph outside the blockquote.
