Description

Add an azd update command that provides a clean, user‑friendly way to manually upgrade azd. The command should wrap existing install/upgrade mechanisms and improve the current copy‑paste script experience, while preserving safe fallback behavior if the upgrade fails.

In scope

  • New azd update command
  • Clear messaging when an update is available
  • Execution of the same scripts users run manually today
  • Failure messaging that preserves existing manual instructions

Out of scope

  • Auto‑update
  • Channel switching logic beyond messaging

Acceptance criteria

  • Users can run azd update instead of copy/pasting scripts
  • Failure does not leave azd in a broken state
  • Clear fallback instructions are shown on failure
  • No auto‑update behavior is introduced by this command
