Fix release action: update_version.sh corrupts dependency versions on release

[Copilot]

update_version.sh performed a blind global string replacement of the package's own version value across the entire package.json, inadvertently corrupting dependency version strings where the version appeared as a substring.

Example of the bug (releasing v0.6.4 with pages/content at version 0.4.2):

• "autoprefixer": "^10.4.20" → "autoprefixer": "^10.6.40" (non-existent version)
• Caused pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile to fail with ERR_PNPM_NO_MATCHING_VERSION

Priority*

• High: This PR needs to be merged first, before other tasks.
• Medium: This PR should be merged quickly to prevent conflicts due to common changes. (default)
• Low: This PR does not affect other tasks, so it can be merged later.

Purpose of the PR*

Fix the release GitHub Action, which was failing due to update_version.sh corrupting dependency version specifiers in package.json files during the version-bump step.

Changes*

• bash-scripts/update_version.sh: Replace the naive full-file string substitution with a targeted regex anchored to the "version" JSON key only.

# Before — replaces ALL occurrences of the current version string in the file
perl -i -pe"s/$current_version/'$1'/" "$0"

# After — only replaces the value of the "version" key
perl -i -pe "s/(\"version\"\\s*:\\s*\")[^\"]*/\${1}$1/" {} \;

The new pattern captures "version": " as group 1 and replaces only the bare version value, leaving dependency version specifiers untouched regardless of substring overlap.

How to check the feature

Trigger the release workflow (via workflow_dispatch) with a tag where the package version (e.g., 0.4.2) is a substring of any dependency version string (e.g., ^10.4.20). The install step should complete without ERR_PNPM_NO_MATCHING_VERSION.

Reference

• Failing run: the v0.6.4 release dispatch corrupted autoprefixer@^10.4.20 → ^10.6.40 in pages/content/package.json because 0.4.2 ⊂ 10.4.20.
