Phase 0 item 3 of docs/installer/PLAN.md wired up from this side. The installer
does not resolve "latest" at run time — it installs the exact combination named
by a published bundle manifest (PLAN.md §7.1), so until now a new overlay release
was invisible to operators until the installer repo's nightly cron noticed it.
Adds a final step that POSTs to RunicGateway/installer's bundle workflow-dispatch
endpoint. That job re-reads this tarball's manifest.json and checks its declared `protocol`
against the sidecar's PROTOCOL_VERSION before publishing anything (gate 1) — the
check this repo cannot perform for itself, since the C# plugin announces no
version on the wire. It replaces the TODO the header has carried since #7, which
was deliberately left unimplemented while there was nothing to dispatch.
Dispatch, don't wait (PLAN.md §7.3): Gitea's dispatch endpoint returns no run
handle, so there is nothing to poll — a waiting step would have to guess which
run is its own while holding a runner idle. The bundle job runs its own gates
regardless of who started it.
A dispatch failure is a warning, never a failure of this job. By the time this
step runs the release is published and correct, so failing the run would
misreport that; the installer's nightly cron recomposes from whatever the latest
releases actually are, making a dropped dispatch cost latency rather than
correctness. That also means REGISTRY_TOKEN having write on the installer repo
is a nicety, not a new hard requirement — noted in the header.
Verified the workflow still parses and that the new step is last, gated on
release=='true', and contains no path that can exit non-zero.
