Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: reword misleading 'stale' warning in info command
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The native version mismatch between npm package and binary is cosmetic
— the package version is authoritative. Replace alarming 'stale' label
with 'cosmetic only' to avoid confusion.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix: use 'engine loaded OK' instead of 'cosmetic only'
 for version mismatch
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Scopes the reassurance to what the code actually verifies — that the
binary loaded without error — rather than implying all mismatches are
harmless.
