+ * upgrade path (right before the ENTER prompt).
+ *
+ * Pure + side-effect free so it can be unit-tested without executing the installer
+ * (cli.js runs its whole flow on require, so its inline logic can't be imported).
+ *
+ * formatUpdateSummary() returns an array of { kind, text } segments; the caller
+ * (cli.js) maps kind -> color + indent:
+ *   'latest'  -> already on the newest version (a single line, no feature relist)
+ *   'heading' -> "What's new since your last update (v…):"
+ *   'group'   -> "New features" / "Fixes & improvements"
+ *   'item'    -> one change bullet
+ *   'more'    -> "… and N more" overflow line
