+# Commits & pushes the regenerated "next" docs (produced by `yarn bump-version
+# minor|major` in the monorepo) as their own PR branch, so /docs/next/ documents
+# the new in-development version.
+#
+# Unlike commit-docs-release.sh, this does NOT cut a frozen versioned snapshot or
+# change which version is @latest - it only updates the current "next" docs.
+#
+# The version is derived automatically from the monorepo's lerna.json, so no manual
+# input is required. Pass an explicit "X.Y" as the first argument to override, or set
+# DEVVIT_MONOREPO_DIR if your monorepo checkout is not the sibling "../devvit".
