* fix(release): revalidate draft state before patching generated notes
The release listing is a snapshot taken before generate-notes runs. If the
draft is published in that window, the PATCH overwrote a live release body.
Re-read the release by id immediately before the update and skip it when the
release is no longer a draft.
* Handle publication race during draft release notes patch
Between the draft status check and the PATCH request, a release can be
published. The PATCH succeeds but now modifies published content. Check
the PATCH response—if draft=false, publication won; restore the
published body and leave generated notes unapplied.
* fix(release): only roll back the draft body we actually wrote
Re-read the release before the compensating PATCH and skip the rollback when the body no longer matches the notes we patched in, so a body written after our PATCH is not clobbered.
Move release existence check into create-draft-release.mjs. Draft releases
are updated via PATCH, published releases are skipped, making the
release-cut workflow idempotent.
Fixes#5579. Pass previous_tag_name to GitHub generate-notes so draft-release notes stop accumulating across releases; omit it safely on first release. Adds tag parse/compare + paginated tag fetch and regression tests.
