Conversation
Preserve the GitHub prerelease flag on asset upload, stamp package.json from the release tag before packing, and refresh a floating prerelease alias so consumers have a stable newest-build URL. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Compare releases that have a completed build.
This check treats the newest release as the newest available build. If release B is created while release A is building, A skips the alias update; if B then fails its tests or packaging, B never updates it either. The alias remains on an older build even though A completed successfully. Base the stale check on releases with a successfully uploaded archive, or arrange a fallback when the newer build fails.

Preserve the existing alias asset if replacement fails.
For an existing alias, the workflow moves its tag and edits its notes before this upload. --clobber deletes the existing asset before uploading the replacement. If the upload fails, the advertised floating release has no dist.tar.gz until another run repairs it. Use a staged replacement or a recovery path that retains or restores a downloadable asset.
