Adds a new CLI flag matching the convention used by Jest, Vitest, and pytest snapshot tooling. When passed, changed snapshots are written to disk automatically without interactive review, and the test run reports them as passing. This makes toolproof usable in headless CI and AI runner environments where no TTY is available for interactive approval.

-u/--updateCLI flag (andTOOLPROOF_UPDATEenv var) that automatically accepts all snapshot changes without interactive prompts, writing updated YAML files to disk inline during the test run.--update (-u)alongside-i.snapshot_update.toolproof.yml) that verifies the flag auto-updates a mismatched snapshot on disk and reports the test as passing.Motivation
When snapshots change, toolproof currently requires either interactive terminal review (
-i) or fails the run. This makes it unusable for AI coding agents and headless CI that want to update snapshots in place. The--update/-unaming follows the established convention from Jest (--updateSnapshot/-u), Vitest (--update/-u), and pytest (--snapshot-update).
