This guard keeps the release workflow idempotent. It matters after a release rerun or a main-history repair because the version can still look changed while the GitHub release/tag already exists; in that case the workflow should report the existing release and exit successfully instead of failing with a 422 from gh release create.

echo "Release v${VERSION} already exists"
exit 0
fi
gh release create "v${VERSION}" --title "v${VERSION}" --notes "Release ${VERSION}"
