Description
Tried using this action in multiple repos, worked for a while, then seem broken for "github release creations"
cleaned logs
```
previous version was 0.1.0.
Analyzing commit: hotfix: Try fix githubactions release
The commit should not trigger a release
Analysis of 1 commits complete: no release
New version is 0.1.1.
New tag after applying prefix is release-20220404-v0.1.1.
Changelog is ### [0.1.1](https://github.com/XXXX/YYYY/compare/release-20220404-v0.1.0...release-20220404-v0.1.1) (2022-04-04)

Research direction
The report provides cleaned GitHub Actions logs but names no source file or test. Start by reproducing tag creation with a custom prefix and trace the reference update step after the tag is generated. Done means the prefixed release tag and its reference are created successfully without the reported error.
