Problem:
- Release workflow failing with "Resource not accessible by integration"
- Missing permissions for GITHUB_TOKEN to create releases
- Workflow tried to create releases that already exist manually
Fix:
1. Added `permissions: contents: write` at workflow level
- Grants GITHUB_TOKEN permission to create/edit releases
- Required for softprops/action-gh-release@v1
2. Added release existence check before creation
- Prevents errors when release already exists
- Skips creation gracefully with informative message
- Useful for manually created releases (like v1.1.0)
Changes:
- Line 8-9: Added permissions section
- Line 48-57: Check if release exists with gh CLI
- Line 59-60: Only create if release doesn't exist
- Line 69-73: Skip message when release already exists
This allows:
- Automatic release creation on new tags
- Manual release creation without workflow conflicts
- Proper error handling and user feedback
