Subject: [PATCH] docs: simplify Fish shell init instructions to idiomatic
 syntax

Replace the verbose `eval (... | string collect)` pattern with the
simpler and more idiomatic `... | source` for Fish shell setup.

The `| source` pipe is Fish's native way to evaluate command output
in the current shell context, making the instructions clearer and
easier to copy-paste for Fish users. Updated all four instances
across the README (gem install, quick start manual, shell setup
reference, and installation sections).
