gh aw update does not install new includes added to an aw.yml #54075

Description

@mnkiefer

gh aw update updates the source-tracked Markdown workflows installed from an aw.yml package, but it does not re-resolve the package manifest. As a result, files added later to the manifest's includes list are not installed.

This leaves an installed package incomplete even though its existing workflows advance to the latest source commit.

Actual behavior

Only already-installed Markdown files with a source: field are updated. New package-level includes are ignored.

Expected behavior

When an installed workflow came from an aw.yml package, gh aw update should re-resolve that package manifest at the selected source revision and install newly declared package-owned includes, including mapped action workflows, skills, agents, and other supported assets.

Package ownership should be tracked so updates can reconcile manifest additions safely without requiring every included asset to have its own source: field. Removal behavior could remain conservative or require confirmation, but additions should not be silently omitted.
