Follows #349. Mirrors OpenSkyHawk/CockpitPanels#4, which fixes the README and has the full install steps.

In FreeCAD 1.1 the Addon Manager's ⚙ menu has no custom-repositories entry. Custom repositories are in Preferences → Addon Manager page, and that page only shows up after the Addon Manager has been opened once. Until the workbench is in FreeCAD's official catalog, the list shows it as CockpitPanels, the repo name.

  • docs/hardware/cad-workflow.md: the install paragraph is now two sentences: add the repo as a custom repository in the Addon Manager preferences, then search for CockpitPanels. It links to the README's Install section instead of repeating the steps.
  • .claude/skills/cad/SKILL.md: same correction, with the FreeCAD 1.1 details.

Verified: mkdocs build -f docs/mkdocs.yml passes.

Custom repositories live in Preferences → Addon Manager, not the Addon
Manager's gear menu, and the addon lists as CockpitPanels until it is in
the official catalog. The published page now links the README's Install
section instead of repeating the steps.
