The website and desktop update feed currently require manual version/URL edits, and publishing a release does not refresh the site. A new release can leave old downloads advertised or falsely imply the PPA advanced with GitHub.

Generate the catalog, compatible schema-1 /version.json feed and current checksum copies from the highest numeric published stable Holder release. Require unique complete platform assets, verify checksum files against GitHub asset digests, and verify the Linux checksum signature against the committed public key. An incomplete newest release fails generation rather than falling back to an older release. Preserve the Windows development label and keep PPA status/version independently declared in _data/ubuntu.json (carried forward as 0.2.5).

Remove redundant committed current-release data and hardcoded page version labels; retain historical checksum URLs. Update download detection tests to use generated data. Stable-release publication dispatches the website workflow on main, matching the live Pages environment’s main-only deployment rule; the dispatcher alone gains actions: write to start that run. Push/manual deployment remains available. No environment settings are changed. Update the runbook with generation, PPA and retry procedures.

Validation: all 33 release tests and 41 staging tests pass, including complete/incomplete/ambiguous/prerelease cases, checksum/digest failures, the real public signature and modified-checksum rejection. Live generation against published 0.2.5 passes. Jekyll builds and browser download-detection tests pass for both real 0.2.5 data and a future 0.2.6 fixture (production Windows pattern, older 0.2.5 PPA and /preview base path). Boundary, version, YAML and diff checks pass. Site deployment and the publication dispatcher will be observed after merge / the next actual release; no site was deployed or release published during local validation.

Continues #110 and #122. Root development VERSION remains 0.2.6; the public feed continues to advertise the actually published 0.2.5 release.
