## Summary by cubic
Expose detailed Electron Forge logs in the release workflow by running
electron-forge publish directly (instead of npm) and setting DEBUG to
"@electron/*,electron-forge:*,electron-windows-installer:main". This
improves visibility and makes publish failures easier to debug.

<h3>Greptile Summary</h3>


This PR improves debugging capabilities for the release workflow by
enhancing electron-forge logging. It adds more granular DEBUG flags
(`electron-forge:*` and `electron-windows-installer:main`) and switches
from `npm run publish` to direct `electron-forge publish` execution to
prevent npm from suppressing logs, following electron-forge's official
support documentation.

- Added more comprehensive DEBUG environment variables for better
visibility into the build process
- Changed to direct `electron-forge publish` command to ensure logs are
properly captured
- Removed implicit `npm run clean` step (redundant in CI environment
with fresh checkout)

<h3>Confidence Score: 5/5</h3>


- This PR is safe to merge with no risk
- The changes are minimal and focused on improving debugging visibility.
Switching from `npm run publish` to `electron-forge publish` only
removes the redundant clean step, which is unnecessary in CI
environments that start from fresh checkouts. The additional DEBUG flags
provide better logging without changing any build logic.
- No files require special attention
