How is the starting version calculated?
See original GitHub issueIf no releases of a package were made before, how is the starting version calculated? Is it taken from package.json or v1.0.0 or something else?
I wasn’t able to find anything about this in README.

You point out something I was not aware of, it is super confusing. On the other hand, starting the initial version from 1.0.0 would be an opinionated choice, I’m not against but we should document it well. @yjaaidi what do you think about that?
I’d consider my question fully answered, thank you both @edbzn and @yjaaidi for this discussion.
I’ll close this issue and file a new one with the suggested feature request so people can easily find it and vote for it.
