Research direction

Start by investigating how Tapioca exposes the tapioca gem command and how Rubygems or Bundler supports plugins. Clarify the desired hook, command arguments, and flag behavior before identifying the implementation entry points. Done means an optional plugin can run tapioca gem foo bar when a gem is bumped, with documented behavior and coverage for the integration.

Description

Not sure if it's possible but it'd be good to expose a plugin that ran tapioca gem foo bar when a gem is bumped. Preferably this would be behind a flag
