fix(release): stop clobbering binaries semantic-release already uploaded - #41

Conversation
The attach step re-listed the same tarballs semantic-release had just published and pushed them again with `--clobber`, which deletes the good asset before writing the replacement. When the uploads API returned a 500 mid-flight on v0.24.0 the release was left advertising checksums for tarballs that no longer existed, and the failed step skipped publish-npm. Collect only the assets semantic-release does not own, and retry the upload, which took two attempts by hand even for a 50KB gif.

What broke
v0.24.0 shipped a GitHub release with two of its four binaries missing.
@semantic-release/githubuploads the tarballs, the zip and their checksums. TheAttach release assetsstep then rancollect-release-assets.mjs, which lists that same set again, and re-uploaded it with--clobber.--clobberdeletes the existing asset before writing the replacement, so every release has a window where the binaries do not exist.The uploads API returned
HTTP 500inside that window. Result:vana-linux-x64.tar.gzandvana-darwin-arm64.tar.gzwere gone while their.sha256files remained, pointing at 404s. Because the step failed,publish-npmandverify-release-installwere both skipped, so npm stayed on 0.23.13.Rerunning the job reproduced it exactly: the clobber wiped all four binaries, restored three, and 500'd on
vana-win32-x64.zip.The fix
collect-release-assets.mjstakes--skip-binaries, and the release workflow passes it. The step now uploads only what semantic-release does not own: the Homebrew formula, the winget manifest, and the demo assets. Prereleases keep the old behaviour because semantic-release never runs there, so they still need the binaries from this script.Error creating asset temp dir). A blip here also strands the npm publish behind a GitHub release that already shipped.v0.24.0
Already repaired by hand. All four binaries are back and byte-identical to the checksums the release publishes, and the darwin-arm64 build runs and reports
0.24.0with a validDeveloper ID Application: Corsali, Incsignature.npm is still on 0.23.13. Merging this cuts a patch through the fixed path, which publishes npm and runs the install smoke test.
