Releases were created as drafts for one stated reason: nobody had run the
plugin in the OBS GUI on any platform, so a human had to look before anything
became visible. The first confirmed GUI load (Windows, OBS 32.2.2 on Windows
11, 2026-09-09) retired that gate, so `publish-release.sh` now posts
`"draft": False` and the workflow no longer needs a human click.

The caveats did not go away, they moved: the generated release notes now lead
with what is actually confirmed (module loads and registers its source type,
Windows only) and what is not (video rendering, A/V sync, latency, mid-show
publisher restart, Linux and macOS in the GUI at all), and the per-platform
table carries the rest.

Also fixes the third and last copy of the wrong Windows install path. The
release notes template told every downloader to extract into
`%APPDATA%\obs-studio\plugins\`, which on Windows is OBS's config directory
and is never scanned for plugins -- that is what stopped a director's
correctly-shaped install from loading. The notes now carry a per-platform
table (`C:\ProgramData\obs-studio\plugins\` on Windows), the exact finished
path, a warning about Explorer's "Extract All..." wrapper folder, and how to
confirm the load in the OBS log. Both failure modes are silent, which is
precisely why they belong in the notes.

Note the tradeoff now that nothing is held back: assets upload after the
release row is created, so a release is briefly visible with no files
attached. Called out in the script header.

Verified by rendering the heredoc with a stub tag: backslash escaping survives
into correct markdown, and the YAML parses.
