however the forge installer command rejects the version for being invalid.

Research direction

Start by locating the startup logic that reads NEOFORGE_VERSION and invokes the Forge installer, then trace where the version is validated. Reproduce the failure with a beta-suffixed version and verify that the installer accepts the documented format without breaking existing version handling.
