v1.16.1

Fixed

• The test-app pin check could no longer match the two alef-generated installers, so the release
  gate was permanently blocked rather than merely stale. The 0.79.5 regen moved test_apps/php's
  pin out of the VERSION="${1:-...}" default into its own PINNED_VERSION= assignment and
  switched both installers' shell literals from double to single quotes; the checker's patterns
  matched nothing, and --fix therefore could not repair them either. The patterns are now
  quote-agnostic and line-anchored, so a future template change still surfaces loudly as a
  no-match instead of silently passing.
• task version:sync was never run for 1.16.0, leaving the dart, elixir, kotlin_android and
  swift_e2e test-app manifests plus the plugin's own version source pinned at 1.15.12.
• The plugin publish jobs no longer report success having published nothing. Both jobs probe
  the registry for the release version while uploading an artifact carrying the plugin's own
  version, and neither depended on version validation. In v1.16.0 the npm job took a 403 for
  republishing 1.15.12 and still concluded success, and the PyPI job skipped an existing 1.15.12.
  Both now assert the bundle matches the release before uploading.
• Completed the alef regeneration interrupted in the 1.16.0 cycle, which had left 18 generated
  files stale.

Note

• v1.16.0 reached no registry; 1.16.1 is the first complete 1.16 release.
