Fix release-on-push: package build output as tarball instead of uploading individual files#6
Conversation
… to GitHub Release Root cause: `files: build/**` in softprops/action-gh-release@v2 attempted to upload thousands of CMake intermediate files with duplicate names across subdirectories. This overwhelmed the GitHub API causing ECONNREFUSED and HttpError: Not Found errors. Fix: Add a "Package build artifact" step that creates a single build.tar.gz archive from the build directory, then upload only that tarball to the release instead of thousands of individual files with duplicate names.

The
release-on-pushjob was failing becausefiles: build/**causedsoftprops/action-gh-release@v2to attempt uploading thousands of CMake intermediate files (build artifacts, makefiles, dependency files) as individual GitHub Release assets. Since GitHub Release assets are flat (no subdirectories), duplicate filenames across subdirectories (e.g.,CMakeLists.txt,DependInfo.cmake,build.make) triggered extra API calls to rename conflicts — eventually overwhelming the API and hittingECONNREFUSED.Changes
