wtclaude 25a5734107 docs(installer): add release orchestration and the bundle manifest
The installer needs CI that reacts when a component publishes a release. Adds
that as section 7, folded into version tracking because the bundle IS the compat
matrix -- which closes the "where does the compat matrix live" gap section 7
previously left open.

- 7.1 Bundle manifest: CI publishes an exact, protocol-checked combination of
  component versions; the installer resolves against it at run time and
  --bundle <tag> pins one. A link release regenerates JSON and leaves the
  installer binary untouched, so operators don't re-download the installer for a
  sidecar patch and the repo doesn't accumulate releases with identical code.
  Two compose-time gates: sidecar PROTOCOL_VERSION must equal the overlay
  manifest's declared version, and every asset's SHA256 must match.
- 7.2 Triggers: each component's release job POSTs to the installer's
  workflow-dispatch endpoint (link's release.yml already declares
  workflow_dispatch and already holds a write:repository token), plus a nightly
  cron so a missed dispatch self-heals. repository_dispatch avoided -- support
  is uncertain on this Gitea version.
- 7.3 Stale overlay: dispatch, don't wait. Components self-release on merge to
  their own main, so the release normally already exists. If main is ahead with
  *releasable* commits (docs:/chore: correctly cut nothing), fire that repo's
  workflow, compose from what exists now, warn loudly, and let the nightly fold
  in the result. Dispatching another repo's workflow is fine -- it still runs
  its own gates -- but polling it is not, since Gitea's dispatch endpoint
  returns no run handle.

Bundle CI becomes a Phase 0 deliverable, since Phase 1 resolves what to install
from the bundle. `update` now moves between checked combinations rather than two
independently-latest artifacts.
