Research direction
Start in lib/simp/relchecks.rb at compare_latest_tag and inspect how its current short list determines whether a version bump is needed. Identify the file checks that should trigger a bump, update that logic, and verify the comparison handles the intended files without treating unrelated files as bump-worthy.
