Subject: [PATCH] fix: look up existing release by tag instead of creating a
 new one (#6)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

tea creates the release before the pipeline runs; POST was failing with
conflict, leaving RELEASE_ID empty and skipping the asset upload.
Now GETs the release by tag, PATCHes its body, then uploads the binary.
