- Added a new `version` script in `package.json` to execute `generate-version.js` for automated version management.
- Enhanced `generate-version.js` to dynamically update badges in `README.md` for npm version, Node.js version, and TypeScript version.
- Modified badge update logic to retrieve Node.js and TypeScript versions from `package.json` for accuracy.
- Updated `VERSION` constant in `version.ts` to `0.9.7` to reflect the latest release.
- Streamlined the versioning process for better maintainability and consistency in documentation.
- Updated `README.md` and `CONTRIBUTING.md` to streamline contribution instructions.
- Removed references to running tests (`npm test`) as part of the contribution process to reduce complexity for contributors.
- Adjusted steps to focus on creating feature branches, using conventional commit messages, and submitting pull requests.
- Simplified `package.json` by removing unused devDependencies (`jest`, `@types/jest`, `ts-jest`) to reflect the updated process.
