Research direction

Start with the :checkhealth gitlab entry point and search the README for references to dressing.nvim. Review how the recommendation is presented, update both locations to reflect the current plugin guidance, and verify that the archived plugin is no longer recommended while the README and health check remain consistent.

Description

Since early 2025, dressing.nvim has been archived, with the author recommending the use of snacks.nvim instead.

The author explained the reasoning in https://github.com/stevearc/dressing.nvim/issues/190

Given that, it might be time to stop recommending dressing.nvim in :checkhealth gitlab and the README.
