GH_PAT has expired, so gh release create fails with an HTTP 401 and the shadow release
ends red even though it has already built the VSIX, committed it to xelp/dist and pushed
the tag. That is what happened on the 2.61.202608282 run: the VSIX is in place and usable,
only the GitHub Release entry is missing.

The job already requests contents: write, which is all creating a release needs, so the
workflow token can do it and there is no stored secret left to renew.

Testing

  1. Dispatch Xelp Shadow Release and confirm every step passes, including Create Release.
  2. Confirm a release appears for the new tag.
