[FEATURE] Auto restart on update for Claude Code

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
• [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

Right now, if you get an update, Claude Code throws "update available, restart to apply" and then later "auto-update failed, claude.exe in use".

Proposed Solution

How about an option to upgrade and restart while resuming the active session. If you happen to just have one session open you can run, /update or something, it does all that, restarts and brings the session right back to where you left it.
