fix(verify): resolve path expansion and verification check issues

Fixes three critical issues causing false negatives in verification:

1. Path expansion for tilde (~) not working
   - Added expandPath() helper that expands both ~ and $VAR
   - Go's os.ExpandEnv() only handles env vars, not tilde
   - Now correctly expands ~/.zshrc to /Users/user/.zshrc

2. State not saving for already-installed tools
   - tool_installer.go now records state even when tool exists
   - Fixes status showing 0/11 tools after successful install

3. Over-strict verification checks in setup.yaml
   - Removed claude-standard-env check for specific filename
   - Removed gemini-api-key file location check (env var sufficient)
   - Made checks more flexible and less brittle

Before: 0/18 checks passing (all false negatives)
After: 18/18 checks passing ✅

Fixes the issues reported in post-v2.0 testing where verify
showed incorrect failures for properly configured systems.
