Self-Updater Shell Alias Refresh + Thinking Budget Tuning

Fixed — lean-ctx update now refreshes shell aliases automatically

• Shell alias auto-refresh — post_update_refresh() now detects all shell configs (~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, config.fish, PowerShell profile) with lean-ctx hooks and rewrites them with the latest _lc() function. Previously, lean-ctx update only refreshed AI tool hooks (Claude, Cursor, Gemini, Codex) but left shell aliases untouched, meaning users had to manually run lean-ctx setup to get new hook logic like the pipe guard.
• Multi-shell support — If a user has hooks in both .zshrc and .bashrc, both are now updated (previously only the first match was handled).
• Post-update message — Now explicitly tells users to source ~/.zshrc or restart their terminal.

Changed — Thinking Budget Tuning

• FixBug intent: Minimal → Medium (bug fixes benefit from deeper reasoning)
• Explore intent: Medium → Minimal (exploration is lightweight)
• Debug intent: Medium → Trace (debugging needs full chain-of-thought)
• Review intent: Medium → Trace (code review needs thorough analysis)

Improved — README & Deploy Checklist

• README — Added "Updating lean-ctx" section with all update methods, added pipe guard troubleshooting entry.
• Deploy checklist — Added "Shell Hook Refresh", "README / GitHub Updates" sections, and two new common pitfalls.
