What does this PR do?

updater readPolicy falls back to "auto" when no config file sets a policy. run() treats anything except "notify" as install now, so a fresh install downloads and installs the newest @mars_ai/marscli in the background, no prompt.

Upstream defaulted to "notify" here. This restores that. An explicit policy in config is still respected, only the fallback changes.

The CLI holds the user's API key. With the auto fallback, one bad publish replaces the binary on every default install before anyone sees it.

How did you verify your code works?

Verified: one word change. "notify" is already a valid policy value in this file (decodePolicy accepts it, run() handles it). Patched updater.ts transpiles clean with bun build.

Reviewer's Guide

Changes the updater’s no-config fallback from automatic installation to notification, preventing fresh CLI installs from silently replacing the binary while leaving explicit update policies unchanged.

**Unset updates are not installed**

When no config file sets an update policy, `readPolicy` defaults to `notify`, so `run()` reports an available update without installing it, contradicting the guide’s promise that updates download automatically at startup.

Restore `auto` as the unset-policy default so startup updates are installed as the guide promises.
