Since pre-release tag(s) [v1.0.0-*] already exist(s), but no tag [v1.0.0] exists, this repo state is likely intended for a later pre-release or official release. Cool! However, reminder: The repo/VERSION version should be decided/finalized *just* ahead of release creation and must follow semantic versioning conventions, especially regarding when to bump major/minor/patch components. When ready to do this consult [https://semver.org/] as needed.
