Might want to add a step: if a beta/rc, check the pre-release checkbox on the GitHub release.

Some people have automated bots that will submit PRs to update things in Homebrew. so if it is not marked as a pre-release then Homebrew gets updated to use the beta instead of the latest stable version.

Makes sense, thanks. You're also welcome to contribute this to the release checklist template.

Turns out that CI unsets that flag, which explains why I constantly found myself wondering how I could be so careless. Worth making it more intelligent.
