macOS in-app updater targets macos-v* release tags that don't exist #500

Description

@willwashburn

The macOS menubar app's in-app updater checks for releases tagged macos-v*, but the repo has no such tag — the latest release line is *-v4.0.0 (2026-06-23). As of 2026-07-29 the updater can never resolve an update, so every installed menubar app is stranded on its install version.

Expected: either the release flow publishes macos-v* tags (per the July in-app-update work) or the updater's tag pattern matches what releases actually produce. A CI check that the updater's expected tag pattern matches the release workflow would prevent regressing.
