Reinstalling the package was slow because setup rebuilds pysim's
prerequisites (pyscard compiles from source on Linux), while a clone
updates with a plain `git pull`.
- tools/update.py (+ update.sh / update.bat in the package, and the
release workflow shipping them) updates a packaged install in place:
it downloads the latest release package, extracts it (zip-slip guard,
permission bits restored - zipfile drops them), replaces the app files
over the app directory and re-installs the app into the existing
.venv. The .venv and simple_lastrun.log are not in the package, so
pysim and its prerequisites survive: seconds, not a rebuild.
--check / --version / --zip (offline) / --no-pip / --force; the same
version is a no-op.
- CHANGELOG.md (Keep a Changelog, from the first packaged release;
earlier history is the git log). The release workflow now uses the
version's CHANGELOG section as the release body
(tools/changelog_section.py, falling back to generated notes).
- The READMEs document the update path and the `git clone --depth 1`
option for the clone path; setup prints the update hint.
- Version strings + the PWA cache bumped together (simple-v458).
Verified: 1007 Python + 953 frontend; the release-package test covers
the new files; the updater was exercised end to end (a v3.31.2 install
with a real venv updated to the 3.32.0 package: files replaced, the
venv marker kept, pip metadata 3.32.0, exec bits kept, a second run a
no-op, --check correct).
