The subject-grep base-detection missed alpha.37: it was merged in a commit
titled "Merge upstream/testing (bump version, fix linux ping)" with no
"alpha.37" in the subject (upstream tagged it after we merged), so the grep
found only alpha.36 and rc.17 notes shipped a stale base.
Make `git describe --match v1.14.0-alpha.*` the primary source — it reads
HEAD's ancestry in the commit graph, independent of merge-message wording —
and keep the subject-grep as the fallback for a fork checkout without
upstream tags. Verified locally: now resolves v1.14.0-alpha.37.
