[dependabot]

Bumps softprops/action-gh-release from 2 to 2.6.1.

Release notes

Sourced from softprops/action-gh-release's releases.

v2.6.1

2.6.1 is a patch release focused on restoring linked discussion thread creation when discussion_category_name is set. It fixes [#764](https://github.com/softprops/action-gh-release/issues/764), where the draft-first publish flow stopped carrying the discussion category through the final publish step.

If you still hit an issue after upgrading, please open a report with the bug template and include a minimal repro or sanitized workflow snippet where possible.

What's Changed

Bug fixes 🐛

• fix: preserve discussion category on publish by @​chenrui333 in softprops/action-gh-release#765

v2.6.0

2.6.0 is a minor release centered on previous_tag support for generate_release_notes, which lets workflows pin GitHub's comparison base explicitly instead of relying on the default range. It also includes the recent concurrent asset upload recovery fix, a working_directory docs sync, a checked-bundle freshness guard for maintainers, and clearer immutable-prerelease guidance where GitHub platform behavior imposes constraints on how prerelease asset uploads can be published.

If you still hit an issue after upgrading, please open a report with the bug template and include a minimal repro or sanitized workflow snippet where possible.

This is actually bumping v2 -> v3. Given we've had successful deployments on the latest v2 versions, going to v3 is probably okay, as it's primarily Node 20 to Node 24.
