For mise, point users towards the aqua backend, which is the preferred method for installing tools as it does not require any plugins - this also simplifies the upgrade mechanism

For Homebrew, point users towards the official formula from homebrew/core - in addition, this offers pre-compiled binaries for Intel macOS


Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only updates adjusting install/upgrade commands; no runtime or API behavior changes.

Overview
Updates README.md setup docs to prefer mise's aqua:remoteoss/dexter@latest install/upgrade flow (removing the plugin-based steps) and to use the Homebrew core formula (brew install dexter-lsp). Also fixes the mise documentation link used in the editor setup section.

Wow, great work on this @AlternateRT! I'm happy to see Dexter in Homebrew core!

I'll give this a test myself and then merge. I have a few Dexter things I want to take care of this week, including the next release, so I will add this to my list. The only concern I have with the Mise Aqua change is slowing down the speed at which we can release things, since we'd rely on how long it takes to merge things into Homebrew and Aqua. But the benefits here seem to outweigh the costs.
