[grade=A urn:ump:seyasvbntxsjibq5jiaqmfowc6xgchwe4jvcc54jd6355ujgm75q] DC-122: self-updater hardening + auto-update on + docker disk discipline (v1.16.0)

- _isNewer: same-version releases are never 'newer' (commit labels are
  opaque stamps) — kills the same-version auto-apply regression loop
- _autoCheckAndApply: identical version@sha256 never re-applied
- dashcaddy-update.sh: truthful rollback verdicts (failed rebuild/health
  = exit 1 + failure result), exact frontend snapshot/restore (incl.
  update-introduced owned subtrees), contents-copy cp fallbacks with
  manifest reconciliation, JSON-encoded results/meta/stamp, prune on
  every exit path
- self-updater: frontend-only Linux releases fail loudly (no more silent
  no-op success stuck in 'applying')
- start.sh: DASHCADDY_UPDATE_ENABLED=true (Sami 2026-09-13), json-file
  log caps 10M x3, source->webroot sync via update-stamp contract
- tests: _isNewer regression suite, functional cycle + json/escape suites
  (scripts/test-frontend-cycle.sh, scripts/test-json-escape.sh)

+/**
+ * DC-122 regression tests — SelfUpdater._isNewer() must never treat a
+ * same-version/different-commit release as "newer".
+ *
+ * Loader works in BOTH layouts:
+ *  - repo layout: requires ../src/docker/self-updater.js directly;
+ *  - flattened judge worktree (deps missing): extracts the _isNewer +
+ *    _compareVersions method sources from the implementation file and
+ *    evaluates just those two pure functions — the test then exercises
+ *    the exact shipped logic without needing platform-paths/logging.
