feat(release): bump to 1.0.0-beta.4; nuget.org installation docs

The repo is now public and TimeWarp.Flexbox is registered for nuget.org
Trusted Publishing, so the readme and skill installation sections drop
the GitHub Packages PAT instructions in favor of plain
`dotnet add package`. beta.4 will be the first release through the new
terminal-parity pipeline (OIDC push to nuget.org + timewarp-software
rebuild dispatch).

 ## Installation
 
-This is a private package hosted on GitHub Packages. To consume it, you need to configure authentication.
-
-### 1. Create a Personal Access Token (PAT)
-
-1. Go to [GitHub Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens](https://github.com/settings/tokens)
-2. Generate a new token (classic) with `read:packages` scope
-3. Copy the token
-
-### 2. Configure nuget.config
-
-Create a `nuget.config` file in your repository root:
-
-```xml
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
-<configuration>
-  <packageSources>
-    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
-    <add key="github-timewarp" value="https://nuget.pkg.github.com/TimeWarpEngineering/index.json" />
-  </packageSources>
-  <packageSourceCredentials>
-    <github-timewarp>
-      <add key="Username" value="YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME" />
-      <add key="ClearTextPassword" value="YOUR_PAT" />
-    </github-timewarp>
-  </packageSourceCredentials>
-</configuration>
-```
-
-**Do not commit credentials to git.** Use one of these approaches:
-
-- Use environment variables in CI/CD
-- Use a user-level nuget.config (`~/.nuget/NuGet/NuGet.Config`)
-- Use `dotnet nuget add source` command
-
-### 3. GitHub Actions Authentication
-
-For consuming this package in GitHub Actions workflows:
-
-```yaml
-- name: Authenticate to GitHub Packages
-  run: |
-    dotnet nuget add source \
-      --username ${{ github.actor }} \
-      --password ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} \
-      --store-password-in-clear-text \
-      --name github-timewarp \
-      "https://nuget.pkg.github.com/TimeWarpEngineering/index.json"
+```bash
+dotnet add package TimeWarp.Flexbox --prerelease
 ```
 
-Note: `GITHUB_TOKEN` works for repositories within the same organization. For external repositories, use a PAT stored as a secret.
-
-### 4. Add Package Reference
-
 ```xml
-<PackageReference Include="TimeWarp.Flexbox" Version="1.0.0-beta.3" />
+<PackageReference Include="TimeWarp.Flexbox" Version="1.0.0-beta.4" />
 ```
