chore: more release tag fixes

[benlife5]

A few more changes that I added in the other repos

• set the default prerelease value to 1 instead of 0 in the inc function
• sort prereleases below the stable release

Walkthrough

The changes modify version management logic in the release utilities. The getVersionChoices function now passes an additional "1" parameter to the semver.inc call when computing the next version. The getLatestTag function has been refactored to improve tag handling: it now collects all git tags, removes empty lines, strips the visual-editor@ prefix from each tag for normalization, sorts them in reverse semantic order using semver.rsort, and returns the highest version with the prefix re-applied. Previously, it relied on git's native descending sort without this normalization process.

94-104: One-based prerelease numbering via identifierBase is correct

Passing "1" as the fourth argument to semver.inc correctly enables one-based prerelease numbering. This will consistently produce versions like -alpha.1, -beta.1, and -rc.1 across all pre* and prerelease bumps through the inc helper, aligning with the PR objective.

Tip

📝 Customizable high-level summaries are now available in beta!

You can now customize how CodeRabbit generates the high-level summary in your pull requests — including its content, structure, tone, and formatting.

• Provide your own instructions using the high_level_summary_instructions setting.
• Format the summary however you like (bullet lists, tables, multi-section layouts, contributor stats, etc.).
• Use high_level_summary_in_walkthrough to move the summary from the description to the walkthrough section.

Example instruction:

"Divide the high-level summary into five sections:

1. 📝 Description — Summarize the main change in 50–60 words, explaining what was done.
2. 📓 References — List relevant issues, discussions, documentation, or related PRs.
3. 📦 Dependencies & Requirements — Mention any new/updated dependencies, environment variable changes, or configuration updates.
4. 📊 Contributor Summary — Include a Markdown table showing contributions:
   | Contributor | Lines Added | Lines Removed | Files Changed |
5. ✔️ Additional Notes — Add any extra reviewer context.
   Keep each section concise (under 200 words) and use bullet or numbered lists for clarity."

Note: This feature is currently in beta for Pro-tier users, and pricing will be announced later.
