A MinVer dev build on main computes a prerelease of its own guessed next
version (e.g. 2.9.1-alpha.0.14 after tag v2.9.0), which already sorts
above the last tag by numeric core, so the update banner correctly
stays quiet there. But the reduction to a bare numeric core meant a
genuine new release landing at exactly that guessed version (v2.9.1
real) compared equal to the still-running prerelease and the banner
never fired. A prerelease now only loses to a real release of the same
core, not to another prerelease of the same core.
Verified against the live repo: latest published tag is v2.9.0; a
Release build of this worktree (14 commits ahead) reports
AssemblyInformationalVersion 2.9.1-alpha.0.14+<sha>.
