I reviewed this issue and found the problem. Given that this repository is only a lightweight wrapper around python-semantic-release, the issue of an ignored authentication error is actually deeper in the project code and it did not bubble up to the exit code of the
action.shscript. Opening issue on the primary repo: python-semantic-release/python-semantic-release#1395test(hvcs): add comprehensive error tests for upload_dists
test(hvcs): add comprehensive error tests for upload_dists
