ci: state the release delta on camera and gate on an on-screen receipt

A documentation-only release previously recorded a demo captioned
'FEATURE DEMO', which implied a shipped feature that did not exist. The
demo now renders the builder-supplied release delta as its second
caption, and the builder refuses to publish unless the demo's own
machine-readable caption receipt proves that statement reached the
screen and every required feature caption did too.

The recording also shows the byte-bearing controls the photo data-flow
threat model governs (consent-gated upload, portable export, delete all
local data) using the app's real selectors, so a docs-only release
demonstrates the nearest real user-visible effect instead of inventing
UI.
