P1 Badge Build a package that exists in this workspace

When this workflow runs, cargo build -p byteport-cli will fail because there is no byteport-cli package in the workspace; the current Cargo manifests declare packages like byteport-transport and app (with a byteport bin), and a repo-wide search for byteport-cli/pheno-dag only hits this workflow. Since the previous || true was removed, published releases/manual runs now stop here before producing any artifact or provenance.

P1 Badge Pin the attestation action to an existing ref

On release/manual runs, this step cannot even be downloaded because the pinned ref does not exist in actions/attest-build-provenance (the upstream v1.3.0 release page points at commit 3119152, while https://github.com/actions/attest-build-provenance/commit/35a8f9717e7a2adb1c2c3b2ac88961ba9c230e98 returns 404). GitHub resolves uses: refs before the job can attest anything, so this breaks the release attestation workflow outright.

P2 Badge Pass a real digest or attest the artifact path

If the job reaches the attestation step, this input is passed as the literal string sha256:$(sha256sum ... | awk ...); with: values are action inputs, not shell scripts, and the action's subject-digest input must be an algorithm:hex_digest value (the upstream action.yml says exactly that) or you can use subject-path for a binary. As written, the action will reject the digest instead of publishing provenance for the uploaded artifact.
