Publish a rolling dev release with build artifacts - #9
Conversation
Port ModbusAdapter's latest-dev release mechanism: cache the Linux AppImage and Windows zip between jobs, then publish/overwrite a prerelease tagged latest-dev on every push to master via softprops/action-gh-release.
WalkthroughThe workflow caches the Linux AppImage and Windows ZIP artefacts with run-specific keys. On successful Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to The workflow can publish an older build over a newer latest-dev release or succeed while omitting the Linux artifact, and its build jobs may inherit broader repository permissions than needed. These bounded release and security risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

softprops/action-gh-release reuses an existing tag as-is and does not move it, so the rolling latest-dev release could end up with assets attached but the tag still pointing at an older commit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

softprops/action-gh-release v3 existing assets overwrite files tag_name
💡 Result:
In softprops/action-gh-release v3, existing assets are overwritten by default when a new file with the same name is uploaded to the same release tag [1][2][3]. This behavior is controlled by the overwrite_files input, which is a boolean that defaults to true [1][4]. Regarding your query: - Overwriting assets: The action includes logic to handle overwriting files if they already exist [2][4]. If an upload attempt fails because an asset with the same name already exists, the action is designed to identify the existing asset, remove it, and retry the upload [5]. - tag_name: When a tag_name is specified, the action checks for an existing release associated with that tag [2][4]. If one exists, the action updates that release with the provided assets rather than creating a new one [2][4]. If release information keys (such as name, body, or prerelease status) are not explicitly set, the existing release will retain its original information [2][4]. Note: While the default behavior is to overwrite, race conditions may occasionally occur if multiple workflows attempt to upload assets with the same name to the same release simultaneously [5][6]. The action has implemented retries to mitigate these issues [5].

Serialise overlapping latest-dev publishes.
When two master runs execute package concurrently, an older run can move latest-dev backwards and overwrite same-named assets in the shared release. Add package-job concurrency with cancel-in-progress: true, or reject runs that are no longer the newest.
