Without -version, gorelease resolves the release candidate via MVS over the module graph instead of reading the working tree. When a dependency transitively requires an older version of the module being released (e.g. boxo depends on go-libp2p-kad-dht, which depends on boxo), MVS picks that older version as the candidate and the diff report comes out inverted, flagging all symbols introduced in the current release as "removed" and suggesting an unnecessary minor bump. Passing -version (already computed and validated via semver earlier in the workflow) forces gorelease to use the working tree as the candidate, restoring correct base-to-head comparison.

This PR fixes false-positive detection of breaking API changes which incorrectly suggested bump of version more than necessary.
