Subject: [PATCH] ci(release): prune stale assets before updating a rolling
 draft

The release action only replaces same-name assets, so a PR that bumps
the app version would leave old-version installers beside the new set
in its rolling draft. Delete all existing assets of the matched draft
before the upload; the action re-uploads the full current set right
after. Published releases are never touched.

Addresses Codex round-3 feedback on #1202.
