Subject: [PATCH] fix(hooks): update check now finds VERSION in local project
 installs (#166)

The update check script always looked for VERSION in ~/.claude/get-shit-done/,
but GSD can be installed locally in ./.claude/get-shit-done/. This caused
false "update available" notifications when using local installations.

Changes:
- Check project directory first, then fall back to global
- Remove unused execSync import
