Research direction

Start by locating the vbump entry point and inspecting how it currently receives the version. Check how pkgver is defined or exposed in the project, then confirm that vbump can use it without an explicit version argument; done means the version no longer needs to be specified.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Avoids the need to specify the version at all.
