Update Script Maintenance Report

Date: 2026-03-04

Ran updater: ./gradlew clean generateData.
Root cause: script path exists but local execution failed under Java 25 with legacy Gradle wrapper compatibility.
Fixes made:
- Added first scheduled/manual workflow.
- Pinned workflow runtime to Java 11 for Gradle wrapper compatibility.
- Added explicit contents: write and guarded commit behavior.
Validation summary: updater command is wired for a compatible CI runtime; local Java 25 incompatibility documented.
