The install guide tells people to curl
.../releases/latest/download/<file>
which is a GitHub URL shape. GitLab's equivalent is
/-/releases/permalink/latest/downloads/<path>
but it only resolves for assets that declare direct_asset_path, and the
release job was creating plain links to the package registry. Those carry
the tag in the URL, so they can never be a "latest" link.
Each asset now also declares /binaries/<file>, which is what the docs will
point at. The path is load-bearing: changing it breaks a documented install
command.
