🚀 PoshBuddy v0.5.1 - Expanded Shell Support & Robustness

This release significantly improves cross-platform compatibility and profile detection.

Added

• Multi-Shell Profile Detection: Support for .bashrc, .zshrc, .profile, and config.fish (Fish Shell), alongside PowerShell.
• Dynamic Binary Discovery: check_omp_installed now searches common installation paths and dynamically updates the process PATH if the binary is found in a non-standard directory.
• Cross-Platform Nerd Font Detection: Enhanced detection for Linux/macOS using fc-list and standard directory scanning.
• Improved UI: Platform-aware installation instructions on the dependency screen.

Fixed & Improved

• Dependency Reliability: Better pwsh (PowerShell 7) detection across all operating systems.
• Filesystem Safety: Automatic creation of parent directories before writing profile configurations or updating dependencies.
• Installer Logic: Refined fallbacks for Linux installation scripts.

🌟 PoshBuddy v0.5.0 - The Multi-Shell Update

This major release expands PoshBuddy beyond PowerShell, bringing support for Unix shells and a more robust installation engine.

Added

• Multi-Shell Compatibility: Integrated profile detection and theme injection for Bash (.bashrc), Zsh (.zshrc), and Fish (config.fish) shells.
• Linux Installation Fallback: The installer now intelligently falls back to the official Oh My Posh bash script if Homebrew is not available on Linux systems.
• Safety Guards: Implemented profile path syntax filters to ensure non-PowerShell configurations are handled safely.

Fixed

• Unix-Specific Labels: Corrected UI strings that previously referenced Windows-only tools (like Winget) when running on Unix platforms.
• Test Isolation: Improved unit test stability by mocking environment variables (HOME, USERPROFILE, XDG_CONFIG_HOME) for hermetic profile detection tests.
