Summary

Adds font-fira-code-nerd-font to the macOS Homebrew casks in packages.yaml.

Ghostty is already configured to use FiraCode Nerd Font as its primary font, but the font was never installed automatically — causing broken/missing icons in the Starship prompt and everywhere else Nerd Font glyphs are expected.

Closes #49
