feat(updater): name hourly releases by version, build number, time, and sha (#11817)
* feat(updater): name hourly releases by version, build number, time, and sha

Hourly releases were titled with their raw tag
(`v1.4.163-hourly.202607312054`), which reads as one opaque digit run and
does not say which commit it came from.

Title them `1.4.163 • 01 • 07-31 13:54 • e698241` instead, and show that
same string in the in-app build picker by having the picker render the
release's stored name rather than deriving its own label. Composing it in
one place means the two surfaces cannot drift.

The build number is monotonic across the channel. It is read as the
highest number already in use rather than as a count of releases: the
prune step trims to 72, so a count would roll backwards after three days
and reissue numbers. Drafts count toward it — unlike in the freshness
check, which asks whether a commit shipped, this asks whether a number is
free, and a stranded draft still holds one.

Times are Pacific while the tag's stamp stays UTC. The stamp is a sort
key and a local one would repeat an hour at every DST fall-back, making
two distinct builds compare equal; the title is only ever read.

* fix(updater): fail the hourly build when the release name is missing

The workflow checks out `ref: main`, but a workflow_dispatch runs the
workflow file from whatever branch was dispatched. A branch that edits
this step while main still carries the old script produces an empty name
and an untitled release — silent, and only visible once someone opens the
releases page. Verified by hitting exactly that on run 30665586904.
