Subject: [PATCH] fix: Handle non-string stdout from execa on Node 24

On Node 24, execa may return stdout as a Uint8Array instead of a
string. When coerced via template literal this becomes
"[object Uint8Array]", causing version parsing to fail with
"Cannot parse Dokku server version from output:".

Wrap all stdout access in String() to ensure a string regardless of
Node version.
