Subject: [PATCH] Vikunja: pin install/update to v2.3.0 due upstream issues
 (#16059)

* Pin Vikunja install/update to v2.3.0

Set both install and update scripts to deploy Vikunja v2.3.0 instead of latest. The update flow now checks against this pinned release and includes context that v2.4.0 is temporarily avoided due to an upstream startup failure caused by the packaged systemd SystemCallFilter.

* minor fix
