refactor: complete whipsmart.nvim rebrand and architecture cleanup

- Rename lua/kickstart/ -> lua/whipsmart/ (health check, opt-in extras)
- Replace doc/kickstart.txt with doc/whipsmart.txt; regenerate help tags
- Rename all kickstart-* augroups to whipsmart-* in lsp.lua and telescope.lua
- Fix missed kickstart-lsp-highlight reference in nvim_clear_autocmds
- Wire up custom/plugins loading (was silently never called)
- Replace implicit glob plugin loader with explicit ordered list in init.lua
- Remove dead mason-lspconfig dependency (unused with 0.12 native LSP)
- Simplify format.lua format_on_save to a clear user-editable ft table

-Kickstart.nvim is a project to help you get started on your neovim journey.

-It is:
-- Somewhere that has a good start for the most common "IDE" type features:
-    - autocompletion
-    - goto-definition
-    - find references
-    - fuzzy finding
-    - and hinting at what more can be done :)
-- A place to _kickstart_ your journey.
-    - You should fork this project and use/modify it so that it matches your
-      style and preferences. If you don't want to do that, there are probably
-      other projects that would fit much better for you (and that's great!)!

+INTRODUCTION                                                  *whipsmart.nvim*
+
+Whipsmart.nvim is a modular, native-first Neovim configuration built on the
+Neovim 0.12+ `vim.pack` system. It evolved from kickstart.nvim into a
+machine-aware, reproducible starting point.
+
+                                                            *whipsmart-is-not*
+It is not:
+- A complete framework bundling every plugin under the sun
+- A distro you passively consume
+
+                                                                *whipsmart-is*
+It is:
+- A clean, well-documented foundation with the most common IDE features:
+    - autocompletion (blink.cmp + LuaSnip)
+    - LSP with Mason tooling
+    - goto-definition, references, fuzzy finding (Telescope)
+    - syntax highlighting (nvim-treesitter)
+    - git integration (gitsigns)
+- A place to build your own config from, with a modular structure you can
+  extend in lua/custom/plugins/ without merge conflicts.
+
+Run `:checkhealth whipsmart` to verify your environment is set up correctly.
