Automating a release version bump involves updating package.json, running lint and format checks, creating a feature branch, committing, pushing, and opening a PR. This ensures consistent release version management across contributors by enforcing quality checks.

Yes, the version bump workflow waits for the pull request to merge before tagging the release. This PR-driven merge approach ensures all lint, format, and TypeScript checks pass successfully before a release version is finalized and tagged in the git repository.

The best way to manage patch increments is using an automated workflow that supports either automatic patch increments or explicit version specification. It coordinates updating package.json, running checks, branching, committing, and pushing to standardize the release process.

Yes, you can specify an explicit release version instead of relying on automatic patch increments. The automation workflow accepts a target version to update package.json accordingly, then runs checks, creates a feature branch, and opens a PR for that specific release.

The required quality checks when bumping a release version include running lint, format, and TypeScript checks. The workflow enforces these checks before allowing the feature branch to be pushed and the pull request to be merged for the release tag.
