[Suggestion] This alias only exists in interactive zsh, so scripts and non-interactive shells (zsh -c, Claude Code's Bash tool, hooks, cron) still won't find tailscale on a Mac App Store install. That's fine for the stated goal. If you later want it available everywhere, you could add a small wrapper in home/.bin/ (or a PATH entry in .exports) instead. Not needed for this PR.
