 Every command prints its version and nudges you when a newer release exists. `pantheon upgrade`

 worker, alerts, menu bar) so they load the new code, and asks any setup question the new version

+has that you have never answered. Open agent windows come along too: the server each window runs
+notices the new version and switches to it within a minute, with no disconnect and nothing to
+reopen (windows opened on a pantheon older than 0.24 need one `/mcp` reconnect; `pantheon doctor`
+names them). A self-hosted relay is shared with your teammates, so it prints the restart for that
