GitHub's releases/latest/download/<file> redirect only resolves when the filename is identical across releases. The versioned .deb names (qn_X.Y.Z_arm64.deb) gave users no stable URL to point at. The release job now uploads a version-less copy (qn_amd64.deb, qn_arm64.deb) alongside each versioned file. The version lives in the package's control metadata, so apt/dpkg install the correct version regardless of filename. README's .deb section now uses the canonical latest-download URLs; versioned files stay attached for pinning.
