What

Harden scripts/update.sh so the stay-current path works without jq.

Parse Cursor's linux-x64 feed with python3 when jq is missing; fail loudly if curl/python3/sha256sum are missing.
Reject tiny or non-.deb downloads so a failed fetch cannot look like a successful bump.
Workflow still apt-get installs jq for the scheduled run; git push failure is a job failure with the manual path in the log.
README: jq optional on the manual path; cron still runs on master.

#7

Why

#8 merged the 0.36.0 bump and a jq-required updater. Jumpboxes may lack jq; the documented ./scripts/update.sh force path must still work.

Test

PATH without jq: note: jq not found; parsing update feed with python3 then Up to date at 0.36.0.
Earlier live run (pre-merge): bump 0.35.0 → 0.36.0 with python3 fallback, deb sha 948b4177667d9a03915c1aee497e7c5438705393da8083a6af0177288512d07e.
Actions push/tag already proven on this forge (run 1190); this PR does not change that. Manual path remains documented.

Leftover from #7 after #8; issue already closed by that merge — no Closes #7 here.

Jumpboxes may lack jq; requiring it made the documented manual path
fail closed for the wrong reason. Keep python3 as the rewrite tool
and the feed parser fallback, and fail loudly when neither parser
nor curl/sha256sum is present. Reject tiny/non-deb downloads so a
failed fetch cannot look like a successful bump.
