Subject: [PATCH] test(desktop): the source-channel handoff fixture answers
 stable from releases/latest

Since #135847, stable is the latest published GitHub release
(`releases/latest`), not the R2 release-candidates pointer. The fixture still
served only the pointer, so the check reported "No published stable release"
and the test went red on main (the Python-only PR skipped the Desktop lane).
