Merge pull request 'release: Redline 0.3.2 (MMDB-2697)' (#28) from release/0.3.2-20260905 into main

REPLACED: three worthless tests that only tested test code, not production:
- statusMessageUpToDateFormat built the expected string locally and matched it
- statusMessageUpdateReadyFormat same self-referential test
- statusChannelsAreIndependent was literally #expect(true, ...)

ADDED: four real tests that drive production code:
- dubaiTimeCheckTimeFormat: assert DubaiTime.checkTime() formats as HH:MM Dubai
- manualCheckUpToDateIncludesTimestamp: inject stub appcast via testAppcastJSON seam,
  drive UpdateChecker.checkNow(manual: true), verify statusMessage matches exact format
- automaticCheckUpToDateLeavesMessageNil: verify automatic check (manual: false) leaves
  statusMessage nil when up-to-date
- statusChannelsAreIndependent: construct real AppModel via AppDelegate.makeLaunchModel(),
  assert setStatus() does NOT affect updateStatusMessage, setUpdateStatus() does NOT
  affect statusLine, and vice versa. PROVES the defect is caught: test fails with 3 issues
  if updateStatusMessage is reverted to an alias of statusLine.

ADDED: testAppcastJSON seam to UpdateChecker for test injection of appcast data.
