Workflow

1. Read package.json to get the current version.
2. Ask the user which version bump to apply: patch (0.1.0 → 0.1.1), minor (0.1.0 → 0.2.0), or major (0.1.0 → 1.0.0). If the user already specified the bump type or exact version in their message, skip asking.
3. Compute the new version string.
4. Edit package.json, updating only the "version" field to the new version.
5. Run npm run build to confirm no TypeScript errors before tagging.
6. Commit the change:

   chore: release vX.X.X
   

   No "Co-Authored-By" line for release commits.
7. Create an annotated git tag: git tag -a vX.X.X -m "Release vX.X.X"
8. Push the commit and the tag: git push && git push --tags
9. Report to the user that the GitHub Actions release workflow has been triggered and will build and attach the tarball. Provide the Actions URL: https://github.com/$(gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner)/actions
