Environment facts: starship absent, no Nerd Font, TUIOS glyph sets, hunk/lazygit installed

Verified on the user's NixOS machine this turn:

• starship is NOT installed (command missing) and there is no ~/.config/starship.toml. So Starship-style prompt glyphs/icons would render as empty boxes.
• No Nerd Font present: fc-list | grep -i nerd returns 0 results.
• TUIOS offers 4 glyph sets: ascii, default, heavy, unicode. Active is default, using ordinary Unicode: add '+', arrow_left '‹', arrow_right '›', attention '▎', borders '╭ ╮ ╰ ╯ ─ │ ┼ ├ ┤ ┬ ┴', bullet '·', close '✕', collapse '«', dash_rule '╌', dot '●', ellipsis '…'. Glyphs dir: /home/sam/.config/tuios/glyphs. Many roles exist (border., state_, section_, tree_, arrow_*, etc.).
• hunk installed at /etc/profiles/per-user/sam/bin/hunk (flake input hunk.url = "github:modem-dev/hunk" in /etc/nixos/flake.nix).
• lazygit installed at /run/current-system/sw/bin/lazygit (listed in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix packages).
• git at /run/current-system/sw/bin/git; ocr at /home/sam/.local/bin/ocr. Spec decision from this: use TUIOS default glyph set with ascii fallback; Starship look requires deliberately installing a Nerd Font first.

Evidence

• Confidence: 95%
• Reason: Concrete environment discovery with paths and tool availability that affects UI design decisions.
