RIG_REF unset now means the latest RELEASE: the tag is resolved by
following the releases/latest redirect and reading the Location header
(no API, no token), and the download is archive/refs/tags/<tag>.tar.gz.
An explicit RIG_REF tries refs/tags first — a pin must outrank a branch
that shares its name — and falls back to refs/heads, which keeps
RIG_REF=main the dev channel. "Re-run any time to upgrade" now means
upgrade to the latest release.
Transitional, and loud about it: rig has no release until 0.1.0 is cut,
so the default channel dies naming RIG_REF=main as the way to install
today — never a silent fallback to main, because "I installed the latest
release" must not quietly mean "I installed whatever main was that
second". test/release.sh drives all three channels through the real
install.sh with a stubbed curl (no network in CI), and the resolve/
candidate functions are extracted and exercised the valid_version way.

The PR-then-tag half of box#83's flow, rig's side. CHANGELOG.md starts
with an Unreleased section (feature PRs land their entry as part of the
PR — box's convention, now written into CONTRIBUTING alongside the
release ritual). On a tag push, release.yml asserts the bare tag equals
the tree's own VERSION — a mismatch fails loudly and creates nothing —
then creates the GitHub release with that version's changelog section as
the body, extracted by changelog_section in .github/scripts/release-lib.sh:
one function, sourced by the workflow and driven by test/release.sh
against fixtures and the shipped CHANGELOG.md itself. No assets — for a
pure-bash tree, the tag's source tarball IS the package.
