* fix(hooks): use semver comparison for update check instead of inequality

gsd-check-update.js used `installed !== latest` to determine if an
update is available. This incorrectly flags an update when the installed
version is NEWER than npm (e.g., installing from git ahead of a release).

Replace with proper semver comparison: update_available is true only
when the npm version is strictly newer than the installed version.

* fix(hooks): use semver comparison for update check instead of inequality

gsd-check-update.js used `installed !== latest` to determine if an
update is available. This incorrectly flags an update when the installed
version is NEWER than npm (e.g., installing from git ahead of a release).

Fix:
- Move isNewer() inside the spawned child process (was in parent scope,
  causing ReferenceError in production)
- Strip pre-release suffixes before Number() to avoid NaN
- Apply same semver comparison to stale hooks check (line 95)

update_available is now true only when npm version is strictly newer.

* test: add semver comparison tests for gsd-check-update isNewer()

12 test cases covering: major/minor/patch comparison, equal versions,
installed-ahead-of-npm scenario, pre-release suffix stripping,
null/empty handling, two-segment versions.
