Problem
Current release workflow requires the GitHub Release to be manually created before the workflow runs, because both build jobs only perform
gh release upload. This creates friction and risk of failed uploads if the release doesn't exist.Solution
Add a dedicated
create-releasejob that:ubuntu-latestbefore both build jobsgh release view--generate-notesif missingbuild-windowsandbuild-linuxnowneeds: create-releaseto avoid upload racesResult
Pushing a version tag (e.g.
v0.21.0) now fully automates the entire release pipeline:Zero manual intervention required.
