Description

Outputting if the tag was a prerelease would help in combination with https://github.com/ncipollo/release-action to mark the Release as a prerelease instead of having to evaluate it in its own step.

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by tracing how this TypeScript GitHub Action declares and emits outputs, then identify where the tag's prerelease status is available. Done means consumers such as release-action can use the emitted prerelease value without a separate evaluation step.
