feat: version-aware find-browse with META signal protocol

Agents in other workspaces found stale browse binaries that were missing
newer flags. find-browse now compares the local binary's git SHA against
origin/main via git ls-remote (4hr cache), and emits META:UPDATE_AVAILABLE
when behind. SKILL.md setup checks parse META signals and prompt the user
to update.

- New compiled binary: browse/dist/find-browse (TypeScript, testable)
- Bash shim at browse/bin/find-browse delegates to compiled binary
- .version file written at build time with git commit SHA
- Build script compiles both browse and find-browse binaries
- Graceful degradation: offline, missing .version, corrupt cache all skip check
