Prepare DotCov 1.7.1 and unblock candidate badge validation

[ANcpLua]

Prepare DotCov 1.7.1 with the Windows badge checks and the same-commit TypeScript/Python coverage verification added since 1.7.0. Align the package version, action default, README references, and release notes.

The badge matrix previously downloaded its default version from NuGet before publication, which would block a new release. Each platform now packs this checkout's portable candidate and exercises the unchanged default installer through an isolated local feed and package cache. Badge pushes remain local; the 100% coverage gate, upstream comparisons, release dependencies, and native package publication order are preserved.

Validation:

• actionlint, shellcheck, and git diff --check pass.
• Fallout release-version consistency tests pass.
• Local candidate installation, passing/failing badges, unchanged publication, and exact published bytes pass.
• Fresh pinned pydash clone: 2,274 upstream tests; 2,607/2,607 lines; 28 timer/control checks pass.
• Fresh pinned peek-readable clone: 29 upstream tests with native timers; 205/209 lines and 54/57 branches; timer-enforcement controls pass.
• Fresh public Coveralls JSON agrees with the saved same-commit baselines.
