Releases: Sidebar navigation and per-asset download counts

You can now scan and navigate release pages more easily with a dedicated sidebar table of contents. We also updated release metadata placement for a more consistent layout so it’s easier to move between entries on long pages.

Users with write access can also now see download counts per release asset directly in the Releases UI. Previously, this data was only available through the API. With counts now visible in-product, you can more quickly understand release adoption and identify which assets are downloaded most often.

Note: Download counts do not include tarball or zipball downloads because those are not included in the API response.
