fix(updater): base dev builds on published tags, not main's package.json (#12376)
main's version only moves on `release:` commits, and stable patches are cut
from release branches that never merge back. On 2026-08-03 main read
1.4.165-rc.0 for twenty hours while 1.4.165, 1.4.166 and 1.4.167 all shipped,
so every hourly built in that window was stamped 1.4.165-hourly.* while
carrying code newer than 1.4.167 — and sorted below the stable its user was
already running.

Resolve the base from the main repo's published tags instead, taking the patch
above the highest shipped stable. package.json stays a floor for the case where
main leads the tags.
