# Backmerge Bot - Trigger Only on Version Bump Commits
#
# This workflow automatically creates a pull request to backmerge changes from the main branch
# to the develop branch, but only when triggered by version bump commits.
# This ensures that version updates made in production are properly synchronized back to the
# development branch, maintaining version consistency across branches.
