Description

The GitHub release creation script has more logic being added to it, and testing it currently requires printf debugging and commenting out service calls. We should break it up into testable components.

Research direction

Start by locating the create-github-releases script and reading its current release flow, including the service calls. Done means the logic is separated into components that can be exercised without live service calls, with tests replacing printf debugging; the issue names no test file or entry point.
