+          # because `draft` defaults to false and the action updates the release
+          # rather than only adding files. The first platform to finish
+          # therefore undoes the draft-hold, and the remaining platforms upload
+          # into a release that is already at /releases/latest. v0.3.1 went out
+          # that way: published with Linux and macOS while Windows was still
+          # compiling. `publish` is what makes it visible, once it has verified
+          # every asset is present.
