Research direction

Start by reading the release or packaging configuration that names the downloadable binary. Check how the artifact is built and verify that the downloaded binary is named hex while the release name remains unchanged.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

What are you trying to do?

When you download the latest artifact, it contains HEX-2.3.1 instead of a binary named hex, making it unusable with package managers like mise.

What would help?

Just name the bin inside hex always, the release name can stay the same.
