Description
The CLI should check for and notify the user when a newer version is available, as these usually have bug fixes and new features. Sometimes, breaking changes to APIs require that the user update the CLI.
If "update fatigue" is a concern, one could limit the notifications to certain intervals (e.g. once a day) or when the difference in major/minor/patch versions exceeds a certain threshold.
