Colby Mchenry 7e3da77f21 fix(install): warn when another codegraph on PATH shadows the new install (#1071) (#1072) ...

The standalone installers report installing the latest version while
`codegraph --version` can keep printing an old one. This is not a packaging
bug: the released bundle's version is correct, but a *different* codegraph
earlier on PATH runs instead — most often a stale
`npm i -g @colbymchenry/codegraph`, whose shim execs its own version-pinned
per-platform bundle, so it reports that old version forever and shadows the
freshly-installed standalone bundle.

install.sh and install.ps1 now detect this at install time and point at the
shadowing copy with how to fix it (remove the other install, or reorder PATH).
install.ps1 checks both the persisted PATH a fresh shell sees (Machine + User)
and the live session PATH, to catch dirs a shell profile injects (conda/npm).

Validated end-to-end on real substrate: install.sh in Docker (linux-arm64,
dash + `set -eu`) and install.ps1 on a Windows 11 PowerShell 5.1 VM
(win32-arm64) — each really downloads the bundle, wires PATH, and fires the
warning, with PATH-resolved `--version` showing the old shadow while the fresh
bundle reports the new version.
