Subject: [PATCH] fix(release): stamp real version into ct-cli.tgz release
 asset
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The build job packed release/ct-cli.tgz via `npm pack` before
semantic-release bumps the version, so the attached tarball always
carried the placeholder 0.1.0 while GitHub Packages published the real
computed version — the two npm-install paths diverged (surfaced by #83).

Move the pack into the release job via @semantic-release/exec, which runs
after @semantic-release/npm writes the bumped version into package.json,
then rename the output back to the fixed ct-cli.tgz filename the stable
releases/latest/download/ct-cli.tgz URL depends on (README + INSTALL.md).
The pre-bump pack step in the build job is removed so exactly one,
correctly-versioned tarball is produced.

Closes #84
