Nightly build version was minute-resolution, so same-minute commits or identical rebuilds produced the same CFBundleVersion. AltStore and SideStore detect updates by exact string-equality on CFBundleVersion, so a collision meant no update was shown. Bump to second resolution.

Add the top-level identifier SideStore requires to link the source to installed apps; AltStore ignores it.
