Bump Version

Increment the @version field of a userscript and ship the bump.

Inputs

• Path to the .user.js file (or repo root — auto-detect if only one)
• Bump type: patch (default) | minor | major | explicit X.Y.Z
• Optional: changelog line for the commit message

Steps

1. Read the script's metadata block. Extract current @version. If missing or non-semver, ask the user for an explicit version and warn that Tampermonkey requires monotonic versions for update detection.
2. Compute the new version:
   • patch: 1.2.3 → 1.2.4
   • minor: 1.2.3 → 1.3.0
   • major: 1.2.3 → 2.0.0
   • Or use the user's explicit value (must be greater than current).
3. Update the @version line in place. Touch nothing else in the metadata block.
4. If a README.md exists with the version embedded, update it too — or just suggest the user re-run generate-readme.
5. Commit, tag, push:

   git add -A
   git commit -m "Bump version to <new>: <changelog-line>"
   git tag "v<new>"
   git push && git push --tags
   

6. Report:
   • Old → new version
   • The install URL (unchanged) and a note that already-installed users will pick up the update on Tampermonkey's next check (default ~24h; user can force via "Check for userscript updates").

Guards

• Never decrease the version. If the user asks, confirm explicitly — Tampermonkey will refuse to update.
• Don't bump if there are no committed changes since the last tag (warn and ask).
