Map the image channels to how this repo ships, and disarm auto-publish

The channel work assumed the branch model it was written against: upstream,
main is a release branch and dev-be is the trunk. Neither holds here. main IS
our trunk - 212 commits past v0.11.3 - and a release is a tag (ADR-007). dev-be
does not exist at all, so the edge half would never have fired and the launchers
would have cloned a missing branch.

Taken literally it would have published our unreleased trunk to every site as
:stable, which is the opposite of what the word promises to someone who has no
way to check.

Remapped throughout:

  tag v*  -> :stable   the thing that was actually released
  main    -> :edge     the trunk, DEV badge lit

publish-images.yml keys the channel on github.ref_type = tag rather than on a
branch name, so the mapping cannot silently drift back. Start-ShopDBDev.ps1,
dev-bootstrap.ps1 and build-channel-installer.ps1 resolve stable to the newest
v* tag via git ls-remote --sort=-v:refname, warning and falling back to main if
a repo has no tags yet. DEV-BUILD-TEST.md follows.

The push: trigger is commented out. Automatic publishing waits on someone
confirming the GHCR package exists under this owner and deciding who may pull
it; workflow_dispatch works meanwhile. Turning it on is one uncomment.

All three scripts parse clean under pwsh, and the tag-selection expression was
run against this repo rather than eyeballed. Per the standing rule, the runtime
paths still want a pass in the win11 VM before anyone leans on them.
