rcourtman 49412357af Ship the Pulse server install.sh as the GitHub Release asset
Every v6 RC (rc.1 through rc.5, ~30 days) shipped the wrong install.sh.
build-release.sh was copying the rendered AGENT installer into
release/install.sh, but adapter_installsh, scripts/pulse-auto-update.sh,
the root install.sh's own --rc/--stable/--version flows, and the README
quickstart all fetch that asset and run `bash install.sh --version vX.Y.Z`.
Since the agent installer rejects --version with "Unknown argument", the
LXC quickstart, the in-product "Update Pulse" button on systemd/proxmoxve
deployments, and the pulse-auto-update.sh systemd timer were all broken
for every RC.

Fix the build-release.sh copy to publish the root server installer.
The agent installer continues to ship inside tarballs at ./scripts/install.sh
and inside Docker images at /opt/pulse/scripts/install.sh, and is served
at the running Pulse server's /install.sh endpoint — none of those paths
change. Only the top-level GitHub Releases asset moves from agent to server.

Update build_release_assets_test.go to lock in the new publishing rule
and ban the reverse drift, replacing the March 18 "legacy root install.sh"
guard that was the original mistake.

Add a validate-release.sh smoke that catches the regression mode this hid:
the published install.sh must have the Pulse server banner, the --version)
arg handler, must not contain the agent banner, and `bash install.sh --help`
must print the server installer's version-pinning help line. These checks
run as part of validate-release-assets.yml against the post-publish asset
bundle so a future swap back cannot slip through.

Document the asset identity rule and the validate-release.sh guard in the
deployment-installability contract so any future change to the publishing
pipeline has to update the contract or trip the shape guard.
