Conversation
On every PR, the build workflow now also runs `npm pack` and uploads the resulting tarball as a GitHub Release asset. A sticky comment is posted on the PR with a direct download link and a one-liner npm install command. The temporary release is automatically cleaned up when the PR is closed or merged.
