Release: fill a release that was made by hand on GitHub - #3
Making a release on GitHub also makes its tag, which starts the release workflow; gh release create then failed because the release existed. Now the files are uploaded to it, keeping its title, notes and pre-release mark.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Release Updates
Existing GitHub releases now receive build files without changing their title, release notes, or pre-release status.
New releases retain the tag-based title and generated notes; tags with a hyphen are marked as pre-releases.
If release creation fails, the workflow uploads files only if it can find the release; otherwise, it reports a failure.
Re-uploaded files replace files with the same name.
Documentation
Updated release guidance to describe the macOS and Windows builds and how existing releases are handled.

Walkthrough
The release workflow uploads artifacts to an existing GitHub release or creates a release when none exists. The README describes the macOS and Windows builds and the handling of hand-created releases.
Changes: Release workflow
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Existing release handling and documentation .github/workflows/release.yml, README.md
The workflow uploads artifacts to an existing release with --clobber and leaves its metadata unchanged. If no release exists, it attempts to create one and checks for a release that appeared after a creation failure. The README describes the build targets and hand-created release behavior.
The release workflow handles existing and concurrently created releases. No actionable issue remains before merge.

Review details
Systems and components
observed — README.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
Before / after behavior
observed — Modified behavior in README.md: The release workflow description now lists Squirrel Maker builds for macOS and Windows instead of a Mac app and command-line program. It also documents that a hand-created GitHub release retains its title, notes, and pre-release mark when the workflow adds files.
observed — Modified behavior in .github/workflows/release.yml: Before release creation, the workflow now checks for an existing release matching GITHUB_REF_NAME. If found, it uploads out/* with --clobber and exits instead of running the release-creation step.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Around line 108-111: Update the release creation flow after the `gh release
view` check to handle a release created in the intervening race: if `gh release
create` fails because the release already exists, upload `out/*` to that release
with `--clobber`; preserve failure behavior for other errors.
- Line 109: Update the release asset upload flow using `gh release upload` so an
existing same-named asset remains available until its replacement uploads
successfully; avoid `--clobber` if it can remove the existing asset before a
failed replacement completes.

Confirm the asset replacement policy.
--clobber replaces an existing asset with the same name. If the replacement upload fails, the existing asset may already be removed. Confirm that this behavior is intended, or use an upload flow that preserves the existing asset until the replacement succeeds.

When gh release create fails, look again: if the release exists by now
(another run, made by hand, or created before an upload failed), upload
the files to it. Any other failure still fails the job.
