Problem
The npm installation works across platforms, but the README does not yet explain common macOS and Linux problems such as a missing global npm bin directory, shell PATH setup, Ollama connectivity, or selecting a Chromium executable.
Proposed experience
Add docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md with a focused macOS and Linux section.
Acceptance criteria:
- Cover npm global install/PATH checks without recommending unsafe permission changes.
- Explain how to verify Ollama and how to set
SOLEIL_BROWSER_PATH.
- Include
soleil doctor as the first diagnostic step.
- Link the guide from the README and CONTRIBUTING.md.
- Use fake paths and tokens only; never ask users to paste credentials into an issue.
