…#16305) ### What? Bump the plugin template's pinned Payload package versions from `3.37.0` to `3.82.1` and add it to `generate-template-variations.ts` so future releases bump it automatically. ### Why? Audit against the current Payload version (`3.82.1`): | Template | Payload version | Status | |---|---|---| | `blank`, `ecommerce`, `website` | `workspace:*` | ✅ auto-bumped | | `with-cloudflare-d1`, `with-postgres`, `with-vercel-*` | `3.82.1` | ✅ bumped via release workflow / manual PRs | | `plugin` | `3.37.0` | ❌ stale (~45 patches behind) | The plugin template is not a standard app-template variation, so `generate-template-variations.ts` skipped it entirely. The post-release workflow therefore never touched it, and the recent manual bump PRs (payloadcms#16212, payloadcms#16229) only covered app templates. ### How? 1. `templates/plugin/package.json` — bump `payload` + `@payloadcms/*` devDeps from `3.37.0` → `3.82.1`, bump `@payloadcms/eslint-config` from `3.9.0` → `3.28.0`, bump `peerDependencies.payload` from `^3.37.0` → `^3.82.1`. 2. `tools/scripts/src/generate-template-variations.ts`: - Allow `--template plugin` through the filter (plugin isn't a variation entry). - After the main loop, call a new `bumpPluginTemplate()` helper which resolves the latest `payload` version from npm and reuses `bumpPackageJson`. - Extend `bumpPackageJson` to also bump `peerDependencies` entries, writing `^<version>` so plugin consumers can install compatible patch/minor updates (exact pins would be too strict for a peer dep). Verified locally with `pnpm script:gen-templates --template plugin` — picked up the latest npm version (`3.83.0`), bumped devDeps, wrote `^3.83.0` to peer deps, and preserved `@payloadcms/eslint-config` via the existing `DO_NOT_BUMP` list.
