Release version 0.10.1

- Extend PATH probing to include /home/nix/.nix-profile/bin/nix (container mode).
- Automatically invoke init-nix.sh when nix is not found before first run.
- Ensure pkgmgr always attempts a one-time Nix initialization instead of failing prematurely.
- Improve error message to clarify that nix was still missing *after* initialization attempt.
- Keep existing flake-based execution path unchanged (exec nix run …).

This makes the wrapper fully reliable across Debian/Ubuntu package installs,
fresh containers, and minimal systems where Nix is not yet initialized.
