# Both release-macos and release-windows upload assets via
# `gh release upload`, which requires the release object to already
# exist for the tag - neither job created it, so both failed with
# "release not found" on a fresh tag push. `gh release view` first
# makes re-runs (e.g. after a transient build failure) idempotent
# instead of erroring on an already-created release.
