Bumps softprops/action-gh-release from 2.5.0 to 2.6.1.

Release notes

Sourced from softprops/action-gh-release's releases.

v2.6.1

2.6.1 is a patch release focused on restoring linked discussion thread creation when discussion_category_name is set. It fixes [#764](https://github.com/softprops/action-gh-release/issues/764), where the draft-first publish flow stopped carrying the discussion category through the final publish step.

If you still hit an issue after upgrading, please open a report with the bug template and include a minimal repro or sanitized workflow snippet where possible.

What's Changed

Bug fixes 🐛

v2.6.0

2.6.0 is a minor release centered on previous_tag support for generate_release_notes, which lets workflows pin GitHub's comparison base explicitly instead of relying on the default range. It also includes the recent concurrent asset upload recovery fix, a working_directory docs sync, a checked-bundle freshness guard for maintainers, and clearer immutable-prerelease guidance where GitHub platform behavior imposes constraints on how prerelease asset uploads can be published.

If you still hit an issue after upgrading, please open a report with the bug template and include a minimal repro or sanitized workflow snippet where possible.

v2.5.3

Greptile Summary

Dependabot bumps softprops/action-gh-release from v2.5.0 (a06a81a0) to v2.6.1 (153bb8e0) in both release workflows. This is a pin-by-SHA update with no configuration changes.

  • release-on-tag.yml: Updated action SHA on line 74
  • release.yml: Updated action SHA on line 117
  • The new version includes bug fixes for discussion category preservation and concurrent asset upload recovery, plus a new previous_tag feature for generate_release_notes
  • Both workflows continue to use commit SHA pinning with a # v2 comment, which is good security practice

Confidence Score: 5/5

  • This PR is safe to merge — it is a routine Dependabot dependency bump with no configuration changes.
  • The change is a minimal, one-line SHA update in two files. The new commit hash matches the published v2.6.1 release. No workflow logic, inputs, or permissions are altered. The upstream changes are bug fixes and non-breaking features.
  • No files require special attention.

LGTM — straightforward Dependabot SHA pin bump for softprops/action-gh-release v2.5.0 → v2.6.1.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This is a Dependabot-generated PR that updates the softprops/action-gh-release GitHub Action from v2.5.0 (SHA a06a81a) to v2.6.1 (SHA 153bb8e) in two workflow files: .github/workflows/release-on-tag.yml and .github/workflows/release.yml. Each file has exactly one line changed — the commit SHA pin. The # v2 version comment is preserved.

Security risks

None. The action references use full commit SHA pinning, which is the recommended practice for GitHub Actions supply chain security. The upstream release notes show only bug fixes and minor features (discussion category preservation, concurrent asset 404 recovery, previous_tag support). No new permissions or inputs are consumed by the workflows.

Level of scrutiny

Minimal scrutiny required. This is a mechanical, auto-generated dependency version bump with no logic changes, no new inputs, and no changes to workflow structure or permissions. The same pattern has been applied consistently to both files.

Other factors

No prior reviews or outstanding comments exist on this PR. No bugs were found by the automated bug hunting system. The upstream action is a well-known, widely-used GitHub Action with a clear changelog. The bump stays within the same major version (v2), so no breaking changes are expected.
