Refactor GitHub Actions release workflow for improved artifact handling and error reporting

- Updated tag validation step to correctly output the validated tag name.
- Enhanced packaging commands to use Unix-style commands for better compatibility and error handling.
- Added verification step for build artifacts to ensure successful creation before packaging.
- Improved output messages for clarity during the build and packaging processes.
