Increase GitHub release reads for contract runners from three to five
attempts, with base retry delays of 2, 5, 15, and 45 seconds. Add random
jitter of up to half the base delay before each retry.

## What changed
Replace fixed release pins for app-server/exec-server compatibility tests with the latest stable version and the stable release published closest to 60 days ago. Exclude drafts and prereleases, and prefer the higher version when publication dates are equally close.
Resolve release versions and SHA-256 asset digests before Linux Bazel CI runs, passing them through `CODEX_COMPAT_RELEASES` to the release archive repositories. Reuse the argument comment lint action so it also prepares compatibility releases. Add bounded retries for transient GitHub release reads.
## Testing
Add unit coverage for stable release filtering, version ordering, nearest publication dates, tie-breaking, and deduplication when both selections resolve to the same release.
