Merge origin/main (v1.67.0.0) — reconcile convergent iOS Release-guard fixes

main's v1.67.0.0 independently landed the DebugBridgeTouch Release compile-out
with a stronger shape (`#if !defined(DEBUG)` short-circuit before the platform
gate, measured via nm -j on a real Release binary) than this branch's
`#if TARGET_OS_IOS && DEBUG`. Resolution: take main's templates/fixtures, keep
this branch's free-tier static tripwire and adapt it to pin main's shape
(short-circuit present, ordered before the platform branch, cSettings DEBUG
define intact, no bare platform-only gate). VERSION/package.json stay 1.67.1.0;
CHANGELOG keeps both entries with 1.67.1.0 on top, its iOS claims reworded to
the residual contribution (the tripwire, not the compile-out itself).
