Update command

notewise update
The update check compares the installed version with the latest GitHub release. It detects whether NoteWise is running as a standalone binary or as a Python package and prints the matching upgrade command group. Standalone binaries receive the short release installer command. Python package installs receive package-manager commands for uv tool, pipx, and python -m pip; use the one that matches how you installed NoteWise.
