PR Summary

Low Risk
Primarily a version bump and dependency/artifact pointer updates; no functional source changes beyond the documented bugfix already shipped in the built artifacts.

Overview
Bumps the SDK release from 8.44.3 to 8.44.4 across the framework metadata, CocoaPods spec, Swift/Obj-C version constants, and the Carthage JSON manifest.

Updates SPM binary target URLs/checksums to point at the v8.44.4 XCFramework artifacts and refreshes WireMock integration-test recordings to expect 8.44.4. Adds the 8.44.4 changelog entry (Rokt callback now invoked on the main thread).
