[BUG]: octokit.repos.listReleases() does not list all releases

[eregon]

What happened?

See ruby/setup-ruby#826
Even though the step:

Run gh release edit "v20251117.190611" --draft=false
https://github.com/ruby/ruby-dev-builder/releases/tag/v20251117.190611

succeeded, a call in the next step to octokit.repos.listReleases() did not list that release.

That in turn can lead to severe bugs.

I also tried updating dependencies (to @octokit/core 5.2.2 as a dependency of @actions/github@^6.0.1) but that didn't help:
https://github.com/eregon/keep-last-n-releases/actions/runs/19442944621/job/55630473093
In that log v0.4.test-prerelease-tag-kept-19442944621 is not seen as a release even though it is.

Versions

@octokit/core 5.1.0 as a dependency of @actions/github@^6.0.0 on Node 20.

Maybe this issue should be under https://github.com/octokit/core.js, I don't know where is the bug, but clearly octokit.repos.listReleases() stopped working correctly.
I suppose it could also be a bug of the GitHub API returning incorrect/stale results.

I'm pretty sure this isn't an issue with Octokit.
We only return the response from the GitHub API.
It's very possible that it's simply a replication delay

Yes that sounds like what I'm observing in ruby/setup-ruby#826 (comment).

Where should I file this bug then?
(or if you're working at GitHub could you forward this issue to the relevant team?)

[wolfy1339]

Sorry, I don't have a clue where to submit the bug report.

Unfortunately, I don't work for GitHub, I am simply a community volunteer maintainer

I reported it to GitHub Support (https://support.github.com/tickets/personal/0), let's see.

Closing as there is nothing we can do on our side.
