fix: Code review fixes for bd-loka

Address code review findings from bd-p3b0:

1. Fix variable shadowing in upgradeAckCmd
   - Renamed local 'previousVersion' to 'lastSeenVersion'
   - Prevents confusion with global variable

2. Fix getVersionsSince() logic bug
   - versionChanges array is reverse chronological (newest first)
   - Function now correctly returns versions before the index
   - Reverses result to provide chronological order (oldest first)
   - Adds comprehensive documentation

3. Add comprehensive unit tests
   - Test getVersionsSince with various scenarios
   - Test trackBdVersion with no dir, first run, upgrade, same version
   - Test maybeShowUpgradeNotification behavior
   - All tests passing

Fixes found bugs and adds 100% test coverage for version tracking.
