Subject: [PATCH] Add postinstall script to support git installations

- Add postinstall script that builds the package if dist/ is missing
- This fixes installations from git where dist/ is not committed
- For npm registry installs, the script skips build (dist/ already exists)
- Update INSTALL.md and README.md with git installation instructions

Fixes git installations by automatically building the package after clone.
Requires Bun to be installed. Takes ~3-5 seconds during install.

+### Installing from Git
+
+You can install directly from GitHub:
+
+```bash
+npm install github:coder/ghostty-web
+# or
+bun add github:coder/ghostty-web
+```
+
+**Note:** When installing from git, the package automatically builds itself via a `postinstall` script. This requires Bun to be installed and may take a few seconds during installation.
+
 ## Basic Usage
 
 ```typescript
diff --git a/README.md b/README.md
index f9f40b8..03f977c 100644
