Latest stable GitHub release API

Fetch the newest non-prerelease, non-draft GitHub release for owner/repo and return a clean parsed view — fully parsed semver (major/minor/patch/prerelease/build), changelog body, download assets (name/size/url/downloads), author, and days-since-publish; falls back to scanning the release list when the tagged latest is a prerelease. Answers 'latest stable release of facebook/react', 'changelog for this repo', 'download assets for the newest release', 'what version did this project just ship'.
