Subject: [PATCH] fix(install): prevent shell corruption from directory
 deletion
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This fix addresses 3 critical bugs in the install script that caused cascading failures:

**Bug #1: Directory Deletion Without Restoration**
- Script executed `cd "$tmp_dir"` then `rm -rf "$tmp_dir"` on error
- Left shell in deleted directory causing "cannot determine current directory" errors
- Added `cd - > /dev/null || cd "$HOME"` before all `rm -rf "$tmp_dir"` calls (7 locations)

**Bug #2: Go Command Failures**
- Go commands failed with "cannot determine current directory" after directory deletion
- Caused empty `$go_version` variable

**Bug #3: Empty Variable Integer Comparison**
- Empty `$major` and `$minor` variables caused "integer expression expected" bash error (line 167)
- Added variable validation before integer comparison

**Changes:**
- Added 7 directory restoration calls before temp directory cleanup
- Changed all `return 1` to `return 0` per bash safety best practices (prevents shell exit if sourced)
- Added Go version variable validation with regex check
- Added warning comment about script execution vs sourcing

**Test Results:**
- BEFORE: 5 "cannot determine current directory" errors + 2 "integer expression expected" errors
- AFTER: 0 errors, clean installation

**Impact:**
- Eliminates confusing error messages during installation
- Prevents shell corruption if script is accidentally sourced
- Improves error recovery when pre-built binaries are unavailable
- Maintains backward compatibility - all installation paths still work
