System Configuration

When making system configuration changes:

1. Should this go in dotfiles? Persist across machines → dotfiles, not direct system changes

2. Where in dotfiles?

   Config Type	Location
   Shell	fish/
   Git	git/
   Editor	zed/, nvim/, vim/
   Homebrew	Brewfile
   npm globals	npm/global-packages.txt
   macOS settings	sync script (defaults)
   New tools	subdirectory + sync updates

3. Update sync script - New config directories need linking rules
