[PR-734] Use Method signature for local-runner

[luv-bansal]

Pull Request Overview

This PR introduces a new patch_version method to the Model class and integrates method signatures into the local runner workflow. The changes enable updating existing model versions with method signatures and configuration updates rather than always creating new versions.

• Adds a patch_version method to the Model class for updating existing model versions
• Updates the local runner to include method signatures when creating or updating model versions
• Refactors ModelBuilder instantiation to occur earlier in the local runner flow

clarifai/client/model.py	Adds new patch_version method for updating model versions with kwargs
clarifai/cli/model.py	Integrates method signatures into model version creation/updating and moves ModelBuilder instantiation

The return type annotation is 'None' but the method actually returns a Model instance (line 2133-2137). The return type should be 'Model' to match the actual behavior.

Suggested change

	def patch_version(self, version_id: str, **kwargs) -> None:
	def patch_version(self, version_id: str, **kwargs) -> 'Model':

[Copilot]

[nitpick] The ModelBuilder is instantiated early but only used later in the function. Consider moving this instantiation closer to where it's first used (around line 695) to improve code readability and reduce the scope of the variable.

Suggested change

	builder = ModelBuilder(model_path, download_validation_only=True)
	validate_context(ctx)
	logger.info("Checking setup for local runner...")
	validate_context(ctx)
	logger.info("Checking setup for local runner...")
	builder = ModelBuilder(model_path, download_validation_only=True)
