[BUG] "claude update" shows hardcoded/stale version numbers in success message

Bug
Running claude update always displays the same stale version numbers in the success message, regardless of the actual versions involved.
Example output:
Successfully updated from 2.1.71 to version 2.1.58
The "from" and "to" versions don't reflect the real update — they appear to be hardcoded or cached from a previous run.
Expected behavior
The success message should show the actual previous version and the actual new version installed.
Steps to reproduce
- Run
claude update - Observe the success message — version numbers don't match reality
Environment
- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
- Claude Code version: 2.1.72
- Install method: npm
