Subject: [PATCH] feat(kernel): Upload package tree instead of pre-zipped
 artifact

Switch to uploading the assembled package directory as the artifact, allowing the platform to encapsulate it in a single-layer zip. This avoids nested zips and ensures the release process reuses the same archive structure for consistency.
