Subject: [PATCH] build: manage version via MinVer with
 AssemblyInformationalVersion

Uses MinVer to derive the version from git tags (prefix "v"), stored in
AssemblyInformationalVersion. Program.cs reads that attribute (stripping
the "+sha" build metadata) so the update-check compares against a clean
semver. CI overrides the tag via /p:MinVerVersionOverride=$VERSION.
