Installation friction: PATH, zshrc, progress, toolchain warning #171

Description

Context

Multiple issues reported during Miden Day related to midenup installation experience.

Items

  • PATH directives in docs are wrong. Should point to toolchains/stable/bin, not midenup/bin.
  • ~/.zshrc doesn't exist on fresh macOS, midenup setup fails silently.
  • midenup install stable takes 20-30 minutes with no progress indicator. Users ctrl-C thinking it's stuck.
  • "WARNING: new is an alias from component cargo-miden, which is installed but is not part of the current active toolchain" is confusing for both humans and AI agents.
