Update-check messages now printed through a different internal output helper

What

In the code that checks for and reports Claude Code updates, several messages, including the current version line, "Update available" notices, and "Claude Code is up to date" messages, now go through an internal output helper called lr instead of the previously used ar. The messages themselves are unchanged.

Why

This is an internal refactor with no expected change to what is shown when Claude Code checks for updates.
