Interpretation: main wrongly accepts stable/channel and nightly-build prefixes; PR rejects both at --version. Exact stable and nightly still start the real extracted server and receive HTTP 200. No stub services or replacement executables used.

Additional checks: blacksmith vp test run scripts/smoke-cli-archive.test.ts: 5 passed; vp fmt --check and vp lint on both changed files: passed, 0 warnings/errors.
