softprops/action-gh-release@v2fails with404 Not Foundonupdate-a-release-assetwhen a release for the tag already exists with a VSIX asset attached — the PATCH endpoint only updates asset metadata, not binary content, so overwriting via that path is broken.Changes
release.yml: Replace thesoftprops/action-gh-release@v2upload step withgh release upload --clobber, which correctly handles both the "no release yet" and "release + asset already exist" cases--clobberdeletes the stale asset and re-uploads rather than attempting a metadata-only PATCH, bypassing the broken code path entirely.
