Research direction

Search the repository for the current release-creation instructions and read package.json alongside them. Update the instructions to say that package.json is manually incremented and that the tag and release are created through the UI rather than with npm patch; done means the documented steps avoid the protected branch and preserve the intended alpha version.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

An attempt was made to create one-last alpha release (14) https://github.com/uiowa/uids/pull/1046 and in following the instructions, caused it to bump to 4.0.0, run into a protected 4.x branch and erase any trace of the alpha 14.

The package.json should be manually incremented and the tag/release should be created through the UI, not via npm patch.
