fix(install): make Claude Code install/update idempotent across channels

Browse Source 
install.sh aborted with npm EEXIST when claude was already present:
the binary is a native-installer symlink (~/.local/bin/claude ->
~/.local/share/claude/versions/*) that npm does not own, and the
npm prefix (~/.local, set for BLK-013) targets the same path. The
`else err` branch turned EEXIST into a fatal exit. No presence guard
existed, unlike the RTK/GSD steps.

- install.sh: skip-if-present guard (command -v claude), mirroring
  the RTK/GSD pattern; npm only runs on a truly fresh machine.
- update-all.sh: pick updater by channel — npm for npm-managed
  installs, `claude update` for native installs (npm would EEXIST).
