ci(release): make release step idempotent (reuse on 409, replace assets)

Create-release now treats HTTP 409 as 'already exists' and looks the
release up by tag instead of failing, so re-runs and duplicate tag
triggers don't go red. Asset uploads delete any same-named asset first,
so a run that died mid-upload can be retried cleanly.
