ak kit install-path
Print the resolved OS install path for a kit
Print the canonical install path where ak kit init would place the kit plugin. Respects the AGENTKIT_PLUGIN_DIR environment variable override.
Who it's for: Power devs scripting installs; users sanity-checking where files land.
When to use it: Before running ak kit init if you want to confirm the destination, or in scripts that need the path without performing the install.
What changes on disk: Read-only.
