set -U \$prompt_var in Tide's fish_prompt.fish spuriously fires the --on-variable repaint handler on first render, making the async job that computes prompt content think a repaint is already pending and skip itself. Confirmed via the user's own Ghostty window staying blank even after pressing Enter, then reproduced and root-caused locally with a real pty (script/expect) once naive `fish -c` testing turned out to hide the bug (calling fish_prompt once only installs Tide's self-redefining function, it doesn't render). Fix matches IlanCosman/tide#666 (open, unmerged upstream) exactly: add `set -e _tide_repaint` right after the `set -U $prompt_var` line. install.sh now applies this patch immediately after `fisher update`, since that step vendors in the buggy file and would otherwise wipe any hand-applied fix.

Spent a long debugging session on a permanently blank fish prompt in real Ghostty usage (pwd/git segments never render, only character and right-side items do). Found and fixed one real, confirmed upstream Tide bug (IlanCosman/tide#666, unmerged — spurious repaint flag skips the async job that computes prompt content) and kept that fix in install.sh since it's legitimate. But applying it did not resolve the actual symptom, and neither did ruling out tide configure --auto, narrow $COLUMNS, or tide_prompt_transient_enabled getting stuck. Rather than keep guessing blind without further evidence, reverting the default login shell back to zsh+Powerlevel10k (known-good, was never broken) so there's a working terminal right now. Fish stays fully installed and configured (Fisher, Tide, z, fzf.fish, nvm.fish) for whoever wants to pick the investigation back up later — install.sh no longer suggests chsh'ing into it automatically.
