feat: automatic worker restart on version updates

Critical improvement for seamless upgrades across all versions.

Changes:
1. Added /api/version endpoint to worker service
   - Returns current worker version from package.json

2. Added version checking in worker-utils.ts
   - getPluginVersion() - reads plugin's package.json version
   - getWorkerVersion() - fetches version from worker API
   - ensureWorkerVersionMatches() - compares and restarts if needed

3. Modified ensureWorkerRunning()
   - Now calls ensureWorkerVersionMatches() after health check
   - Automatically restarts worker when version mismatch detected
   - Logs version mismatch for debugging

Impact:
- Users no longer need to manually restart worker after upgrades
- Eliminates connection errors from running old worker code
- Critical for v7.1.1 (Bun auto-install) and all future releases
- Fixes the issue where PR #236 changes weren't applied until manual restart

Testing:
- Version endpoint working: returns {"version":"7.1.0"}
- Worker health check: passing
- Auto-restart logic: triggers on version mismatch

+# Action Plan: Issues & PRs Cleanup
+Generated: 2025-12-12
+
+## Phase 1: Immediate Cleanup (Today)
+
+### Close Obsolete PRs
+
+- [ ] **#255** - Close PR "Fix PM2 worker MODULE_NOT_FOUND"
+  - Reason: v7.1.0 removed PM2 entirely, this fix is no longer relevant
+  - Comment: Explain that v7.1.0 migration to Bun eliminated PM2 dependency
+
+- [ ] **#206** - Close or request update on "Harden worker startup"
+  - Reason: Contains PM2-specific code that no longer exists
+  - Comment: Ask author if they want to update for Bun architecture, otherwise close as obsolete
+
+### Close/Update Fixed Issues
+
+- [ ] **#213** - Comment and close "Windows endless process spawning"
+  - Reason: v7.1.0 Bun migration eliminated PM2 process management
+  - Comment: Ask user to verify fix on v7.1.0, explain PM2 removal resolved issue
+
+- [ ] **#229** - Close as duplicate
+  - Reason: Duplicate of #227 (upstream Claude Code bug)
+  - Comment: Direct to #227 for full details and workaround
+
+- [ ] **#211** - Answer and close "Cursor IDE support question"
+  - Reason: Product question, not a bug report
+  - Comment: Explain focus is Claude Code, but plugin architecture may allow future expansion
+
+### Critical Bug Follow-Up
+
+- [ ] **#254** - Follow up on "Worker API fetch failed"
+  - Current status: Asked about PM2 logs (pre-v7.1.0 comment)
+  - Action: Update comment asking:
+    - What version of claude-mem are you running?
+    - If pre-v7.1.0: Please upgrade to v7.1.0 which fixes PM2 issues
+    - If v7.1.0+: Run troubleshoot skill and share logs
+
+## Phase 2: High-Priority Merges (This Week)
