Every main push moves :latest, but main builds don't build an APK — so the
in-app update channel silently vanished from :latest until the next tag.
Now the image-release job, on non-tag builds, pulls the most-recent
release's signed APK from the gitea API and reconstructs its exact
versionName (${TAG#v}.$(git rev-list --count TAG) — the same formula
android-release bakes in) for the version sidecar. No rebuild, just
rebundle; tag builds still bundle their own freshly-built APK. Checkout
gains fetch-depth:0 + fetch-tags so the commit count resolves. Degrades to
an empty client/ (404 update channel) — never a wrong version — if no
release / APK asset / tag count can be resolved.
