Fixes #611.

This updates the desktop release body and release guide so they no longer imply installers are always attached. The release messaging now tells users to download attached assets when present and points them to the deploy templates otherwise.

Validation:

  • reviewed the final diff for the workflow and release guide changes
  • parsed .github/workflows/desktop-release.yml with yaml.safe_load

Note

Low Risk
Low risk documentation/workflow copy change only; it updates GitHub Release body text and the release guide without altering build or publishing behavior.

Overview
Updates the desktop release workflow’s GitHub Release body (stable + nightly) to say installers should be downloaded from attached assets only when the desktop upload succeeds, and adds guidance to use deploy/ templates when no assets are present.

Adjusts RELEASE.md to reflect the same expectation: desktop artifacts appear after the desktop workflow completes successfully, and release communications should redirect users to deploy/ if installers aren’t attached yet.
