Previously, the deployment timestamp was set to DateTime.utc_now() when
the application started, which meant it would always show as recent in
k8s environments where pods are recreated on each deployment.
This commit:
- Updates Release.init() to check for DEPLOYED_AT environment variable
- Falls back to current time if env var is not set (backwards compatible)
- Adds proper ISO8601 timestamp parsing with error handling
- Updates GitHub Actions deploy workflow to set DEPLOYED_AT during deployment
- Creates k8s patch file for future manual deployments
The deployment timestamp will now persist across pod restarts in k8s,
showing the actual deployment time rather than pod startup time.
