ci: bump version with Build-96

fix: revert pod matching to original logic instanceId.contains(podName)
Accidentally flipped pod matching direction in previous commits. Changed from correct instanceId.contains(podName) to incorrect podName.contains(instanceId), causing all health checks to fail. Reverted all 3 locations to original working logic. Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Janis	9bf995f47d	fix: revert pod matching to original logic instanceId.contains(podName) Build & Test (NowChessSystems) TeamCity build finished Details Accidentally flipped pod matching direction in previous commits. Changed from correct instanceId.contains(podName) to incorrect podName.contains(instanceId), causing all health checks to fail. Reverted all 3 locations to original working logic.

Janis	6dbe1e62ac	fix: correct pod matching logic from endsWith to contains Build & Test (NowChessSystems) TeamCity build finished Details Pod matching used endsWith(instanceId) which failed to match any pods because instanceId is randomly generated 8-char string, not pod name suffix. All instances marked dead causing cascading health check failures. Changed to podName.contains(instanceId) to match instanceId embedded anywhere in pod name.

Janis	5619c8223a	fix: resolve 6 coordinator bugs (cache eviction, rebalance race, pod matching, lookup inefficiency) - Add lastUpdatedMs timestamp to GameCacheDto to track actual game updates instead of heartbeat time. Fix cache eviction incorrectly marking correspondence games as idle. - Use atomic SPOP in LoadBalancer.getGamesToMove() to prevent concurrent rebalance calls from selecting same games for migration. - Add game→instance reverse mapping (nowchess:game:$gameId:instance) to eliminate O(instances) linear scan during cache eviction. - Fix HealthMonitor pod matching from loose contains() to reliable endsWith() to prevent matching unintended pods with similar names. - Update FailoverService to maintain game→instance mappings when migrating games during failover. - Update CacheEvictionManager to use game→instance mapping for O(1) lookup instead of O(n) instance scan.

Janis	2d76c001fe	fix: refresh Redis TTL on instance heartbeat to prevent false DEAD marking Instances were being incorrectly marked DEAD because their Redis key TTL was not being refreshed on heartbeat. HealthMonitor.checkRedisHeartbeat() checks pttl > 0, which fails when the TTL expires even if the instance is alive and sending regular heartbeats. Now pexpire(key, heartbeatTtl) is called on each heartbeat to keep the key alive. Prevents scaling messages from undercounting healthy instances.
