Installing Blender via snap in the CI pipeline may be unreliable or slow. Consider using an official Blender binary download or a Docker image for more deterministic builds and faster execution.

The artifact name remains singular ('modular_tree_extension') despite now uploading multiple platform-specific zip files. Consider renaming to 'modular_tree_extensions' or 'modular_tree_platform_builds' to reflect the new multi-platform output.

The ignore_patterns variable is defined but only used when copying directories (ADDON_SOURCE_DIRNAME, RESOURCES_DIRNAME). Files like .blend1 at the root level won't be filtered. Consider applying the same pattern when copying individual files or clarify that this only applies to directories.
