 This config layers on top of the CachyOS base Fish configuration and adds:
 
 - **Catppuccin Mocha** theming throughout (prompt, FZF, syntax highlighting)
-- **Starship** prompt with VI key bindings
+- **Starship** prompt with VI key bindings; Catppuccin Mocha nim-style fallback prompt when Starship is absent or C3 overrides are disabled
 - **Fisher** plugin manager bootstrapped automatically; manages `sponge` (failed-command history filter); FZF bindings, Catppuccin theme, done, autopair, and puffer-fish are bundled directly with the config as customized versions
 - **Smart CLI wrappers** that prefer modern tools (`eza`, `bat`, `btop`, `dust`, `prettyping`) with graceful fallbacks
 - **Auto Python venv** activation on directory change (direnv-aware)
