P2 Badge Purge stale checksum asset on release updates

When this workflow is rerun for a tag whose GitHub Release was already created by the previous workflow, omitting PhotoCutter.exe.sha256 here only stops uploading it again; it does not remove the existing asset. The action docs describe existing releases as being “updated with the release assets” (https://github.com/softprops/action-gh-release#%EF%B8%8F-uploading-release-assets), and the action only deletes/reuploads assets whose names match the files being uploaded, so the old checksum will still appear in Assets and the release will not have the intended single clear download unless a deletion step or manual cleanup is added.

# Photo Cutter v1.2.0

Photo Cutter v1.2.0 is a major usability, precision, and reliability update. It introduces a cleaner compact editor and stronger high-resolution cutting while preserving the familiar cut-out and workspace workflow.

## Highlights

- Cleaner compact header, side panels, resizable layout, and first-use guidance.
- Plain-English **Draw Around** and **Click Around** tools.
- Exact-size reusable shapes that can be named, placed, moved, committed, renamed, and deleted.
- Rename and reorder committed cut-outs before export.
- Five-level 5x–10x precision magnifier with the cutting line visible inside it.
- Native-resolution Fit behaviour, smooth enlarged previews, and switchable exact-pixel viewing.
- Remembered cutting-line colours and consistent dark and light appearances.
- High-resolution geometry, edge-refinement, preview, gallery, workspace, and export fixes.
- Reorganized editor components plus expanded automated regression coverage.

## Download

Download `PhotoCutter.exe` from the Assets section below. It is a portable, self-contained Windows 10/11 x64 app, so a separate .NET installation is not required.

The executable is currently unsigned, which means Windows SmartScreen may ask you to confirm the first launch. `PhotoCutter.exe.sha256` is included so you can verify the downloaded file.

All image processing remains on your computer. No account or upload is required.
- Cleaner, more compact header and side panels leave more room for large photos.
- Plain-English **Draw Around** and **Click Around** cutting tools.
- Reusable exact-size shapes can now be named, placed, moved, committed, renamed, and deleted.
- Committed cut-outs can now be renamed and reordered before export.
- Improved 5x–10x precision magnifier with the cutting line visible inside it.
- Native-resolution Fit viewing, smooth enlarged previews, and switchable exact-pixel viewing.
- Remembered cutting-line colours plus consistent dark and light appearances.
- High-resolution cutting, edge refinement, previews, gallery, workspace saving, and exports are more reliable.
