Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/kvcache-ai/Mooncake/issues/4405

I'm trying to use v0.3.14-rc1 with vLLM on Ascend, but couldn't find a mooncake-transfer-engine-npu wheel in the release assets. v0.3.13.post1 and earlier releases have them.

It looks like release-npu.yaml skips tags containing - because of !contains(github.ref_name, '-'), introduced in #2212. The rc1 NPU workflow run shows both jobs skipped, and the separate pre-release workflow only builds CUDA, CUDA 13, and non-CUDA wheels.

Could we include NPU wheels for pre-release tags like v0.3.14-rc1 as well? Having them on the GitHub Release page would be enough for us to test these versions without building from source. It would also help if the missing rc1 wheels could be uploaded.
