Feature: Add Workflow for Manual Version Bumps

[taj54]

We should add a GitHub Actions workflow powered by Universal Version Bump.
This will allow maintainers to manually trigger version bumps from the Actions tab, keeping the project version consistent and reducing manual errors.

✅ Acceptance Criteria

• A workflow is visible in the Actions tab.
• You can choose the bump type (patch, minor, major).
• Running the workflow updates the version automatically using Universal Version Bump.
• (Optional) Extend the workflow later to include Git tagging + release creation.

🌟 Why This Matters

• Keeps project versions aligned with development progress.
• Reduces manual overhead and error-prone version edits.
• Leverages Universal Version Bump for reliable and consistent updates.
• Lays foundation for future enhancements like automated tagging, changelog updates, and releases.

Thanks for your proposal.

Sometimes we forget to do version updates and it is a cumbersome problems.

But I think in VSCode extension development, we developers don't have to do version updates in package.json.

vsce publish <version>

automatically updates package.json and package-lock.json

So what kind of files this Github action workflow can edit ? README.md or CHANGELOG.md or other files ?

Thanks for pointing that out!
In our case the main value is keeping CHANGELOG.md in sync.
vsce publish takes care of package.json, but it doesn’t touch the changelog.
The Universal Version Bump workflow will update the content inside CHANGELOG.md
whenever we run it, so we don’t have to edit it manually.
