Subject: [PATCH] fix(website): the hero shows a download button and a link,
 nothing else
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The release note under the download had grown into a paragraph: version,
platform, the Gatekeeper explanation, and an instruction to verify the SHA-256 —
all of it repeating what the button already says or what belongs on the release
page. The unavailable states were no better, explaining which platform comes
first. A landing page hero is not the place for it.

Both notes are now just "release history".

Removing the only reader of `#portal-release-status` made three things dead:
that element, `portalManifestReason`, and `portalManifestStatus`. They are gone
rather than left assigned and never read. `build.note` goes with them.

This also removes the element whose absence used to freeze the download button,
since `updatePortalDownload` no longer looks it up at all.
