Reverts #9. The v0.6.1-rc1 smoke test failed: action-gh-release@v3 added a 'Finalizing release' update step that errors with 'Validation Failed: already_exists (tag_name)' when the 5 parallel matrix jobs race to create the same release. Result: run failed, only 4/10 assets, leftover draft release. The same matrix works on @v2 (v0.5.1, v0.6.0 each got 10 assets). Staying on @v2 keeps releases working; v3 adoption needs serialized release creation (separate create-release job).

This reverts commit 0925ada (PR #9).

Smoke test (throwaway tag v0.6.1-rc1) showed action-gh-release@v3 breaks the
parallel release matrix in go.yml. The 5 matrix jobs each create the same
release for the tag; v3 added a "Finalizing release" update step that fails with
"Validation Failed: already_exists (tag_name)" when the jobs race, so the run
failed (fail-fast cancelled the rest) and only 4 of 10 assets uploaded plus a
leftover draft release. The same matrix publishes all 10 assets reliably on @v2
(v0.5.1 and v0.6.0).

Staying on @v2 (Node 20) keeps releases working. Adopting v3 would require
serializing release creation (e.g. a dedicated create-release job before the
upload matrix, or softprops make_latest/overwrite handling) - tracked
separately.
