Post Release started failing at the Publish to WinGet job because winget-releaser aborted with GitHub token is invalid when using WINGET_TOKEN. This change keeps the release workflow actionable by surfacing the WinGet failure as an explicit warning instead of failing the whole workflow run.

  • Root cause observed

    • winget-releaser fails during komac update --submit with an invalid token error, causing the Post Release workflow to fail.
  • Workflow behavior change

    • Added an explicit step id for the WinGet publish step.
    • Marked the WinGet publish step as non-blocking (continue-on-error: true).
    • Added a conditional warning step that runs only when WinGet publish fails and points maintainers to token scope/type expectations.
  • Resulting release semantics

    • Release follow-up automation no longer hard-fails on WinGet PAT auth errors.
    • Failure is still visible and actionable via a targeted warning.
