Consider checking for the existing release at the start of the job, before the npm publish step. This would provide better fail-fast behavior and clearer feedback. Additionally, consider checking if the npm package version already exists to provide a complete idempotency check. The current placement after npm publish means the workflow will still execute build, test, and npm publish steps even when the release already exists, wasting CI resources and potentially causing confusing errors if the npm version was also already published.
