Subject: [PATCH] feat!: remove standalone binaries and the pkg update check
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The standalone binaries shipped an archived bundler (vercel/pkg) with an
EOL Node 16 runtime, and the update check they carried never worked.
Node 24+ (required by the package) makes them unnecessary: install the
npm package instead. Remove the pkg config, the release-asset upload,
the binaries section from the README, and the dead update-check code.
