fix: install the SDK from main, the ja/live-runner branch is gone

livepeer-python-gateway#20 merged and its branch was deleted, so every pin
in this repo points at a ref that no longer resolves:

  fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/tags/ja/live-runner

CI hid it. images.yml builds with cache-from: type=gha, so the pip layer
was served from cache and stayed green while a fresh clone was already
broken. It surfaced when realtime-transcription merged: a renamed folder
means a new cache scope, no cached layer, and the build failed on main.
echo, tiles and hello-world only passed on caches predating the deletion.

main is byte-identical to the last commit the branch had, so this renames
the ref rather than bumping a version. Verified by building all four
images with --no-cache.

Pointing at a branch has the same weakness in slower form; #65 tracks
depending on the published 1.0 release instead.

 The point is to **swap the compute without changing your app — permissionlessly, no lock-in**. Your app stays a plain service with little or no Livepeer-specific code, so you're never tied to us. And the network is permissionless: anyone can run or extend it, no one gatekeeps what you deploy, and no single party can take your app down. Write the app once; **move the compute freely**.
