Research direction

Begin with semantic-release exec's release lifecycle and configuration; the issue names no repository source file or test. Verify whether the process can read package.json, update deploy/Chart.yaml, and include that file in the generated release commit. Done means the chart version matches the released package version and appears in the release changeset.

Description

My application has a Helm chart that is used to deploy my app to Kubernetes whenever I do a release. It is located in a subdirectory called deploy in my root project directory.

app/
-- package.json
-- deploy/
---- Chart.yaml (want to sync this with package.json)

Is there a way to have semantic-release update the version field in that file (to be synced with the updated package.json version) as part of its process and also include it as part of the chore(release): x.x.x [skip ci] commit changeset that it generates?
