Package Boss build 0.4.174 from the current workspace snapshot

Constraint: Boss Windows artifacts are built on a native GitHub runner from a temporary snapshot branch
Rejected: Build Boss Windows locally on Apple Silicon | docker/wine packaging is not stable on this host
Confidence: medium
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: This snapshot branch is transport-only and should be deleted after the Boss build is recovered locally
Tested: local Boss mac build stages before snapshot creation
Not-tested: remote Boss Windows packaging before workflow execution
