CHECK THIS OUT

I didn't even realize but look at this block of code:

https://github.com/coder/code-server/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yaml#L315-L324

I bet you that's it. My hunch says before this step, file permissions are correct. Then we use mv and jq and I bet it messes it up! Let's debug and find out.

THAT WAS IT!

After we modify the version in the package.json the file permissions change, causing the bug.

file-permissions

https://github.com/coder/code-server/actions/runs/3603913725/jobs/6072677160#step:4:14

Now I need to see if there's a way to mv but keep same file permissions.

Alright tested locally and I think this should fix it: 0f66360

Going to do another release candidate.

@jsjoeio Thank you for the detailed problem analysis. It's awesome how you do this!

Thanks for saying that! It's definitely slower than other approaches, but leaves a note trail for others to see and helps understand everything much better.
