Subject: [PATCH] fix(ci): resolve post-merge workflow heredoc parsing issue
 (#44)

The workflow was failing with 'before: command not found' because multiline
commit messages were being inserted into a heredoc, causing shell parsing errors.

Fixed by:
- Using only commit title (first line) instead of full message body
- Replacing heredoc with printf to avoid shell expansion issues
- Properly escaping special characters in commit messages

This fixes the version bump automation that was failing on PR #42 merge.
