I am experimenting with building some Foxglove extensions on CircleCI and storing the compiled version as an artifact. Everything is going smooth except even though the Artifacts tab shows the correct file extension `.foxe` when I download it, it downloads as a `.zip` file.

Has anyone ran into something like this before?
