description	Safely bump a Joomla extension or package version across manifests, update XML, changelog, and related release metadata. Use when the user asks to prepare a Joomla release or change an extension version.

Joomla 6 Version Bump

Read AGENTS.md and identify the extension boundaries.
Inventory version-bearing files with rg; do not assume every numeric match is a release version.
Determine the current version and requested semantic version. If no target is given, infer patch/minor/major only when the requested change makes it unambiguous.
Update the primary manifest, package manifest, update-server XML, changelog, and documented examples that intentionally track the current release.
Do not rewrite historical release notes, fixtures, compatibility ranges, dependency versions, or database migration identifiers merely because they contain the old version.
Validate XML and confirm all active release metadata agrees.
Show the old and new version, changed files, validation results, and any intentionally unchanged matches.

Never publish a Git tag or release without explicit authorization.
