Generate BASE_VERSION

[bh2smith]

We currently have a hard coded "Base Version" in the branch-release. This could potentially be automated as follows:

      - name: Set Version from Branch
        run: |
          BRANCH_NAME=${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/}
          BRANCH_NAME=${BRANCH_NAME//\//-} # Replace slashes with dashes
          SHORT_SHA=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)
          
          # Get the latest version tag and increment patch
          LATEST_TAG=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "v0.0.0")
          LATEST_VERSION=${LATEST_TAG#v} # Remove 'v' prefix
          
          # Split version into major.minor.patch
          IFS='.' read -r major minor patch <<< "$LATEST_VERSION"
          
          # Increment patch version
          patch=$((patch + 1))
          BASE_VERSION="${major}.${minor}.${patch}"
          
          VERSION="${BASE_VERSION}-${BRANCH_NAME}-${SHORT_SHA}"
          pnpm version $VERSION --no-git-tag-version

Generally, I am not fond of these branch releases because they make the version history look ugly and polluted. see here
