Release preparation for Varbase Components 4.0.0-beta4. Issue: https://www.drupal.org/i/3615850

Tag-only package: composer.json carries no version field (drupal.org packaging injects it from the tag) and no x-dev constraints, so there is no version bump and no Back to DEV step.

  • README.md: release badge 4.0.0-alpha2 -> 4.0.0-beta4 (label and its pipelines?ref= link).
  • .gitlab-ci.yml: the blocking phpstan job takes canvas_headless out of its build.

The 4.0.x tip pipeline #909452 on c699760 failed on phpstan alone. PHPStan analysis is scoped to src, but phpstan-drupal boots Drupal first, discovers every extension in the build and runs class_exists() on each service id declared without an explicit class. Drupal Canvas 1.9 added the hidden experimental canvas_headless module, whose JsComponentCanvasRenderConverter service is declared that way and extends Drupal\custom_elements\RenderConverter\CanvasRenderConverter. This build does not carry custom_elements, so loading that class throws and kills the bootstrap before excludePaths or ignoreErrors can apply. Nothing here integrates with Canvas headless, so the job drops that module. allow_failure: false is unchanged and no command is masked.
