Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository's GitHub Actions workflow configuration and the Universal Version Bump action documentation. Add a manually triggerable workflow with patch, minor, and major choices, then verify that a run updates the project version and appears in the Actions tab.

Description
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.
