### Minor Changes

- d5d241f: Add `ultracite upgrade`, and make version drift between Ultracite and its linter visible instead of a crash. Bumping `ultracite` without bumping the linter fails on the next `check`/`fix` with Biome's `Found an unknown key` error (and the equivalent for ESLint and Oxlint), because each release enables rules from a specific linter version.
  
  - `ultracite upgrade` installs the latest `ultracite`, prints a release-notes link for the versions you crossed, then hands off to the freshly installed CLI to reinstall your toolchain at the versions that release was verified with: Biome; ESLint, Prettier, Stylelint and the plugins the preset imports; or Oxlint and Oxfmt. Optional extras already in your `package.json` (framework plugins, Oxlint JS plugins, `oxlint-tsgolint`) are bumped as well. Config files are never rewritten, and the run ends with the same diagnostics as `doctor`.
  - `ultracite doctor` now checks the installed Biome, ESLint, Prettier, Stylelint, Oxlint and Oxfmt versions against the range this release supports. Too old fails the check and points at `ultracite upgrade`; newer than the verified range only warns.
  - The supported ranges are declared as optional peer dependencies so package managers warn when they drift: `@biomejs/biome ^2.5.0`, `eslint ^10.0.0`, `prettier ^3.0.0`, `stylelint ^17.0.0`, `oxlint ^1.79.0`, `oxfmt >=0.40.0`. `ultracite init` now installs Prettier and Stylelint from those ranges instead of `latest`.
  
  Requires Biome >= 2.5.0, ESLint >= 10.0.0, Prettier >= 3.0.0, Stylelint >= 17.0.0, Oxlint >= 1.79.0 and Oxfmt >= 0.40.0.

### Patch Changes

- 27d06f2: Update dependencies (`@clack/prompts`, `semver`, `zod`, ESLint plugins).
- d322691: Default `ultracite init` to Oxlint + Oxfmt when `--linter` is omitted in quiet or non-interactive mode
- c677cf5: Recommend Oxlint + Oxfmt in the `ultracite init` linter prompt and list it first
- c5be848: Disable `no-use-before-define` in TanStack Router route files for the oxlint tanstack preset. File routes are mutually recursive (`Route` references the component, and the component calls `Route.useParams()`), so no declaration order could satisfy the rule.
