v3.6.0

Added

• marr update --project — refresh canonical standards into a previously-installed project. Hash manifest at .claude/marr/.marr-version.json distinguishes locally-edited files (prompted) from canonical advancement (silent refresh). Flags: --check (drift report, non-zero exit), --prune (remove orphans), --dry-run, --force. marr init --project now writes the manifest so first-time installs are tracked. (closes #111, partially addresses #86)
• Mandate release notes and GitHub Release for every tagged release (#112, closes #89)

Fixed

• marr init --project now writes the correct import line when the project uses ./.claude/CLAUDE.md instead of ./CLAUDE.md. Previously the hardcoded @.claude/marr/MARR-PROJECT-CLAUDE.md form was written into both locations, silently failing to resolve from the dotclaude location. clean, validate, doctor, and conflict detection are now location-aware (closes #106).
