✨ What's New
🔧 Version Management System
Automated Version Verification
- New:
scripts/verify-version.sh- Comprehensive version consistency checker - Enhanced:
bump-version.shnow runs auto-verification after bumping - Checks:

⚠️ Scans for outdated hardcoded version references
Documentation Improvements

- Required post-bump steps
-
BUILD.md: Version warnings in build instructions
- Quick version bump reference
- Links to comprehensive guide
- Workflow reminders before building

Old (error-prone):
# Manual version edits → inconsistencies → build failuresNew (automated):
./bump-version.sh patch --message "Your changes"
task build:backend # Rebuild with new version
bash scripts/verify-version.sh # Auto-check consistency
git push origin <branch> --tags🧪 Test Results

🚀 Why This Matters

- ❌ Deployment issues (package.json ≠ binaries)
- ❌ Time lost debugging version conflicts
This release addresses the root cause with automation + verification.
