GitHub's immutable releases feature (GA since Oct 2025) breaks the standard chart-releaser because it creates releases first, then uploads assets separately. With immutable releases, once the release is created, assets cannot be added. This workaround builds a patched chart-releaser from helm/chart-releaser#587 that creates releases as drafts first, uploads assets, then publishes the release. Relates to: helm/chart-releaser-action#228
