Are these steps actually necessary? IIRC there are some defaults set up that you can use, no?
Also, whose email is this? Yours?

I'll do some testing without this step! I'm guessing the user.* of whoever runs the workflow will be used, but am not certain...
This is a somewhat secret email used for @github-actions[bot] based on the ID and username - I tend to use it for workflow related things like this, but no problem removing it if all still works!

TIL not having this will cause the action to error. I'm not sure of an alternative right now, but open to trying other things!

I don't like having this magic email, but somehow I'm not surprised GitHub workflows don't have a proper solution for this :)

@alpha-tango-kilo appreciate all of the solid suggestions! Updated things with the changes that I could figure out, but am open to more iteration as needed - just let me know! 🙏
The most recent run with these changes can be found in this action outputs and these release notes. The outputs from "parse input" can be seen as env input variables in steps that follow like "bump versions". This run also used a v prefix in inputs but earlier tests show this still works without a prefix.
Thanks for taking a look at this! 😄
