[Bug]: Beachball tries to bump a package from a caret peerDependency

React Components / v9 (@fluentui/react-components)

Bug Description

Actual Behavior

When attempting to release a package that has a caret dependency the release pipeline will "bump" to the same, already released version of a package, causing the release to fail.

Expected Behavior

A caret dependency change for a package should not cause a release to fail. Either the package should be bumped to a new release version or it should be skipped.

Notes

This happened in the react-conformance-griffel package where the peerDep was set to ^0.13.0 while the devDep was set to *.

This happens because @fluentui/react-conformance-griffel depends on @fluentui/react-conformance. They are released on different cycles.

react-conformance is released during the v8 cycle (daily) which does not bump react-conformance-griffel.

1. react-conformance is 1.0.0, react-conformance-griffel depends on 1.0.0
2. release react-conformance to 1.1.0
3. release react-conformance-griffel
4. ERROR: beachball generates a change for react-conformance-griffel because react-conformance version changed
5. release failed
