refactor: address code review findings for self-update

- go.mod: 1.25.12 → 1.25 (fix nonexistent patch version)
- Remove init() log mutation, pass logger explicitly via initUpdater()
- Add 10s HTTP timeout via context.WithTimeout on API calls
- Fix version comparison using proper semver (current.LessThan(newVer))
- Extract shared initUpdater() helper to eliminate duplicate creation
- Dev build warning now goes to stderr consistently
- Exit with code 0 after successful interactive update (binary replaced)
