Subject: [PATCH] fix(update-check): replace prompt injection language with
 neutral notification
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The update check hook was using imperative override phrases
('URGENT', 'you MUST', 'before doing ANYTHING else') to force the LLM
to display a specific message block. This pattern is indistinguishable
from a prompt injection attack — a security-aware assistant will (and
should) flag or refuse it.

Fix: emit the update notice to stderr so it appears directly in the
user's terminal without entering LLM context. Keep a minimal, neutral
stdout note so the AI can mention it naturally if relevant.
