Bug: Title: Update checker incorrectly reports newer version available when on latest release #6006

Describe the bug

When running Homarr v1.66.1 (the current latest release), the in-app update checker still displays a notification indicating a newer version is available. This appears to be incorrect as v1.66.1 is the most recent release on GitHub.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Pull and run ghcr.io/homarr-labs/homarr:v1.66.1
  2. Log in to the dashboard
  3. Observe the update notification in the top right corner, indicating a newer version is available

Impact

Expected behaviour:
No update notification should be shown when running the latest release.

Actual behaviour:
Update notification is displayed despite running v1.66.1, the current latest release.

Environment:
Homarr version: v1.66.1
Deployment method: Docker Compose
Host OS: Ubuntu 24 (Dell OptiPlex 7060)
Architecture: x86_64

Additional information

The issue appeared immediately after upgrading to v1.66.1. Previously running the latest tag. The update checker may be comparing against main branch commits rather than the latest release tag, or the version string embedded in the build may not have been updated correctly for this release.
