Something doesn’t appear to be right here. I was running v3.5.0 beta3 with the yml set to `version: tests-passed`

Then I noticed this versioning change so before rebuilding I changed the yml to `version: esr` and then did a rebuild from the CLI.

Now in discourse I see

> Installed  
> 2026.3.0-latest.1

This appears to be using the tests passed tag instead of the esr tag. I verified that app.yml is showing the version as esr , so why it it grabbing the latest build ?
