cd(cua-driver): bake latest version into install.sh after each release

[ddupont808]

Summary

• Adds a BAKED_VERSION sentinel block to libs/cua-driver/scripts/install.sh that the CD workflow updates automatically after every cua-driver-v* release
• Version resolution is now: env var override → baked version (no API call) → GitHub API fallback
• Fixes 403 errors seen by hermes computer-use install users on shared NAT/VPN IPs that exhaust the 60 req/hr GitHub unauthenticated rate limit
• Also bumps per_page from 40 → 100 on the API fallback path so future releases never fall off the page

How it works

install.sh gains a sentinel block kept in sync by CI:

# ~~~ BAKED_VERSION: auto-updated by CD workflow after each release — do not edit ~~~
CUA_DRIVER_BAKED_VERSION="0.1.9"
# ~~~ END_BAKED_VERSION ~~~

The tag resolution block now tries the baked version before falling back to the API:

if   [[ -n "${CUA_DRIVER_VERSION:-}" ]];       then TAG=...  # env pin
elif [[ -n "${CUA_DRIVER_BAKED_VERSION:-}" ]]; then TAG=...  # baked (no API)
else                                                TAG=$(curl api.github.com ...)  # fallback
fi

cd-swift-cua-driver.yml gains a post-release step:

- name: Bake version into install.sh
  # fetches main, sed-replaces CUA_DRIVER_BAKED_VERSION, commits, pushes main

Test plan

• Trigger a cua-driver-v* release and confirm the CD step commits an updated CUA_DRIVER_BAKED_VERSION line to main
• Run install.sh and confirm it prints latest release: cua-driver-vX.Y.Z without making any GitHub API calls (check with tcpdump or network proxy if needed)
• Confirm CUA_DRIVER_VERSION=0.1.8 ./install.sh still overrides the baked version correctly

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR implements automatic baking of CUA driver release versions into the installer script. The install script's version resolution now prioritizes environment pins, then checks a baked constant, then falls back to GitHub API queries (with increased pagination). A new CD workflow step automatically updates this constant when releasing from versioned tags.

Summary

Baked version fallback in release resolution libs/cua-driver/scripts/install.sh, .github/workflows/cd-swift-cua-driver.yml

Install script resolves release tags in three steps: environment variable override, then CUA_DRIVER_BAKED_VERSION constant (new), then GitHub Releases API with increased pagination. A new workflow step automatically bakes the selected release version into the install script when building from cua-driver-v* tags by fetching origin/main, updating the sentinel-marked constant, and pushing the result.

Poem

A version bakes within the script so fine,
No GitHub calls when the tag aligns with mine,
The workflow's hand rolls out the dough,
And installs know which way to go,
One hop ahead, our drivers shine! 🐰
