install.sh asked /releases/latest and installed whatever came back. That is
v0.1.0 today, which predates the updater, and it was about to get worse: the
`stable` pointer release write-manifest.sh creates is non-prerelease and holds
only latest.json, so from the next v* tag onward it would have WON
/releases/latest and the installer would have found nothing to install.

So resolve a channel instead of a "latest". `--channel stable|dev` (or
TS_CHANNEL), default stable, named to match update.rs's Channel exactly. dev
reads /releases/tags/dev. stable reads the pointer's own latest.json, takes its
version, and installs that v* release — the same file the app reads, so the
installer and the updater cannot disagree about what stable means.

Two things found on the way. The dev release's description still told people to
run the stable command, and always would have: publish-release.sh writes a body
only when it CREATES a release, and a fixed-tag release is only created once, so
the text froze at the first build. The 409 path now PATCHes it. And the asset
greps were unanchored, so a .AppImage.sig URL could match as the bundle URL —
harmless by coincidence, not by construction.

pacman system:
```sh
