Description
Since the tool should be something that is seemless for most users, I'd like to add an auto-updater to the binary. There are crates out there that work over GitHub releases (`self_update`).
An opt-in flag should be added to the configuration.

Research direction
Locate the binary entry point and configuration handling, then read the proposed self_update crate's GitHub Releases integration. Done means the updater is controlled by an opt-in configuration flag and remains inactive by default, while the binary can use the configured update behavior.
