fix(servers): fetch fresh inventory without caches

[ryanbarlow97]

The Servers panel can report old release information until its cache expires, and Dev currently has no effective GitHub token. Every load and Check again now reads GitHub and the mounted server files afresh, with no response cache, background refresh or hash memo. Deployment scope is Main only. Dev token configuration was cancelled by the user; its private staging was removed. Host Compose files remain unchanged by this PR.

Fresh checks overlap local inventory with bounded GitHub queries, compare commit IDs before requesting branch comparisons, and resolve older installed jars by exact tags before selectively paging history. GitHub’s designated Latest release is authoritative, with history fallback for a jarless Latest. Missing checksums, interrupted history and GitHub failures stay Unverified; they cannot prove a test build. The browser preserves the previous result’s own timestamp on failure and rejects out-of-order responses.

Release plans perform their own check and pass the exact inventory baseline to the helper. The optional field preserves old-client compatibility; new clients fail closed against an old helper. Deploy the reviewed helper through its existing updater after the main push Build succeeds. No Minecraft restart is part of this change.

Validation:

• 110 focused server/backend tests passed, including fresh calls, pagination, unavailable history, renamed plugins, changed baselines and a trickling HTTP deadline.
• Frontend lint, formatting, typecheck and full suite passed: 2,270 tests, 1 skipped.
• Ten read-only production comparisons preserved all 39 plugin classifications. Median fresh check: 5.66s before, 3.26s after.
• Full Actions Build passed: 2,359 backend tests, 1 skipped, 175 subtests; full Next.js build passed. The following commit only removes the attempted change to protected Compose configuration.
• Independent final code review found no remaining issues.
• Branch preview startup is blocked by an existing unreadable private database backup in its data-copy step; read-only production inventory comparisons and deployed Main checks provide runtime validation.
