Description

I just had a syntax highlighting bug appear in my micro git version, which was fixed months ago. Had to delete `~/.config/micro/syntax/` to fix it.
Even if there was need for custom CachyOS syntax highlighting, the user config should only point to the relevant cachyos config (if possible), not copy it once, because how it currently is that syntax highlighting won't update with micro under normal usage, but remain static forever.

Research direction

Inspect how this repository populates ~/.config/micro/syntax/ and compare the copied CachyOS syntax configuration with the version supplied by micro. Reproduce the stale-highlighting behavior, then verify that a normal micro update refreshes the CachyOS syntax definition without requiring manual deletion; the payload names no files or tests.
