Subject: [PATCH] fix: use latest published npm version for bumping instead of
 package.json

- Check npm for latest published version before bumping
- Prevents duplicate version errors when package.json hasn't been updated
- Falls back to package.json version if package not published yet
- Remove duplicate checkout step
