Subject: [PATCH 1/7] fix(updater): resolve PkgVersion duplicate declaration

Remove var PkgVersion from updater.go since go generate creates
const PkgVersion in version.go. Track version.go in git to ensure
builds work without running go generate first.

Subject: [PATCH 3/7] refactor(io): simplify local Medium implementation

Rewrote to match the simpler TypeScript pattern:
- path() sanitizes and returns string directly
- Each method calls path() once
- No complex symlink validation
- Less code, less attack surface

Subject: [PATCH 6/7] test(mcp): update sandboxing tests for simplified Medium

The simplified io/local.Medium implementation:
- Sanitizes .. to . (no error, path is cleaned)
- Allows absolute paths through (caller validates if needed)
- Follows symlinks (no traversal blocking)

Update tests to match this simplified behavior.
