Update the Helix CLI to the latest version. Use --v1 to update to v2.3.5, the last CLI release for v1 projects. If the Helix agent skills are installed, helix update also refreshes them to the latest version (a failure here degrades to a warning and never fails the CLI update). Separately, when skills are installed the CLI checks once every 24 hours whether they are out of date and prints a notice pointing you at helix skills update; set HELIX_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1 to opt out of both the CLI and skills checks.
