Github release digest

Fetch the latest GitHub releases of any repository and read them either as a formatted digest (flow) or in a dashboard (raw app).

Windmill concepts demonstrated

• Flow — fetch the releases, then format them into a digest.
• Inline flow step — the formatting glue lives in the flow, not in a shared script.
• Resource — optional GitHub token, for private repos and rate limits.
• Raw app — browse the releases in a dashboard.
• dry_run — preview the digest before any delivery.

f/github_release_digest is the delivery-oriented sibling: same fetch, but the digest is posted to Slack by a third flow step.
