## Motivation

exo is now available as a Homebrew cask, so the README should show the
simplest macOS installation path alongside the existing DMG download.

Fixes https://github.com/exo-explore/exo/issues/2105
https://github.com/exo-explore/exo/issues/176

## Changes

- Added `brew install --cask exo` to the macOS App section of
`README.md`
- Kept the existing DMG download link as the first installation option

## Why It Works

Adding the Homebrew cask command gives macOS users a
package-manager-managed installation path while preserving the existing
DMG download option.

## Test Plan

### Manual Testing

- Reviewed the rendered Markdown structure in `README.md`

### Automated Testing

- Not run. Documentation-only change.
