⚡ perf: optimize CmdStan version resolution to prevent GitHub API rate-limiting

[MiguelRodo]

💡 What: The optimization implemented

• Changes the default cmdstan feature version from "latest" to a pinned version ("2.36.0").
• For explicit requests of "latest", it replaces a slow and rate-limited curl request to api.github.com with a fast HTTP HEAD request to github.com that follows the redirect to discover the latest tag via the url_effective parameter.
• Includes a fallback layer just in case the fast resolution or API resolution fails.

🎯 Why: The performance problem it solves

• Fetching the "latest" version via api.github.com introduces an unnecessary ~250ms+ delay during container builds, and significantly increases the risk of builds failing entirely due to GitHub API rate limits (60 requests/hour for unauthenticated IPs) or network latency.

📊 Measured Improvement:

• By changing the default version, standard builds are entirely isolated from the network operation and API rate-limits, bypassing the process completely.
• For requests asking for latest: the HTTP HEAD approach curl -sSfLI -o /dev/null -w '%{url_effective}' operates instantly by looking at headers and effectively avoids the stricter API domain limits while extracting the version seamlessly.
