Why

A runner update makes a valid storage configuration fail its required delivery check, blocking otherwise eligible changes.

What

Restore consistent validation across supported tool versions while retaining every placement and safety rejection.

Fixes #5560

At head 59b6e2df4a56cd7c45d72d4a1829c2ab8ee5e0c8, the complete pinned-chart storage placement suite passes with both jq 1.7.1 and verified jq 1.8.2. Before the change, the same complete suite failed with jq 1.8.2 at the reported valid-install rejection. Both install and upgrade retain every placement, single-writer, claim, security and probe control.

Hosted CI is running. The separate browser-runner repair is owned by #5557/#5559. The publication-runner self-test from failed merge-group run 40827115660 also passes once locally; its earlier lock-directory failure remains unexplained, so no rerun, requeue or clearance is inferred from that local pass. Independent current-head review follows green CI.

Blocker: #5565 | upstream | last-verified 2026-10-29: Current head 59b6e2d fails the independent native mail proof before this change can be cleared. Open repair #5565 at 65fc418 restores that proof and includes the relevant validation repairs. Resume after it merges; rebind the remaining diff before any CI, review or completion claim.

Superseded by merged #5565 at 2d60bc4f498f6a15fca1970aeff6db940d781405. Its storage-placement test has exactly the same Git blob as this PR (0703cfb08d55539ff0e80472f09409cdf0ece702), including the jq binding repair. Closing this duplicate; #5560 is delivered by that merged source. No separate production or publication claim is made.
