The first candidate is `vX.Y.Z-rc.1`; repeating the same bump increments
`rc.N`. Run the bump without `--rc` to publish the stable `vX.Y.Z`.

A pushed release tag is immutable. If publishing fails, fix the publisher and
run the release script again for the next RC; do not move or reuse the failed tag.

Use `patch` for compatible fixes, `minor` for compatible additions, and `major`
for breaking changes.
