Add ability for users to check for and install updates directly from the CLI or the web dashboard, with zero configuration required. - New `internal/updater/` package: checks GitHub Releases API (no auth), downloads platform-specific archive, verifies SHA256 checksum, extracts binary, and atomically replaces via os.Rename - CLI: `mnemonic check-update` and `mnemonic update` commands - API: GET /api/v1/system/update-check, POST /api/v1/system/update - Dashboard: green "update available" badge in nav, click-to-update with confirmation, toast notifications, auto-restart via service manager - Permission errors guide users to sudo or `brew upgrade` Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
