ci: validate every member with mcpp 2026.10.1.2; latest_mcpp -> 2026.10.1.2 (#497)

The full sweep (run 36823747543, attempt 2) validated every member with mcpp 2026.10.1.2: 28 jobs succeeded, 1 was skipped, none failed. Attempt 1's two failed shards had stopped before testing any member, on an HTTP 500 downloading the mcpp archive.
