| Always bump VERSION with each release | VERSION file must be bumped before creating a GitHub release tag, every time | feedback |
Always bump the VERSION file as part of the same commit (or immediately prior) when creating a new GitHub release. Do not create a release tag without the VERSION file matching.
Why: The app's update checker compares the local VERSION file against the latest release tag. If VERSION isn't bumped, the updater shows the wrong version after "installing" an update.
How to apply: When doing commit + push + release, include the VERSION bump in the commit. If multiple releases happen in one session, bump VERSION for each one — don't assume the first bump covers subsequent releases.
