fix(release): auto-sync the UI's MCP version copy after every mcp publish

apps/loopover-ui/src/lib/mcp-package.ts's MCP_PACKAGE_KNOWN_LATEST_VERSION
(ui:version-audit, already CI-enforced) goes stale the moment mcp publishes
a new version -- and since nothing updated it automatically, that showed
up as a completely unrelated PR's CI turning red with zero connection to
what it actually changed (confirmed live: an auto-generated release PR
for a DIFFERENT package hit this exact gap twice in one session, #7115
and #7134).

Can't be pre-synced in the Release PR itself: the value must never claim
a version ahead of what's actually on npm (the check's own header comment
already establishes this), so the earliest correct moment to update it is
right after publish succeeds. Opens a small PR instead of pushing to main
directly, since this repo's branch protection requires PRs.
