fix: align nested-glob status source resolution with apply and doctor

- Resolve nested-glob source relative to project root in status (matching
  apply and doctor), not source_dir
- Document Node.js >=18 as the required minimum with v24.14.0+ as optional
- Correct status-output docs: nested-glob emits a single target-level entry
- Add regression test for nested-glob status entry structure
