~> Constraint Operator Does Not Apply Upper Bound for Major-Only Versions (e.g., “~> 18” includes 19.0.0) #162
Description
When using the ~> (pessimistic constraint) operator with a major-only version, the upper bound is not correctly enforced.
According to semver convention, a constraint like ~> 18 should translate to:
>= 18.0.0, < 19.0.0
However, the current implementation allows 19.0.0 to match ~> 18, which is unexpected and inconsistent with ~> behavior for more specific version formats like ~> 1.2.3.
✅ Expected Behavior
constraint, _ := version.NewConstraint("~> 18")
v, _ := version.NewVersion("19.0.0")
fmt.Println(constraint.Check(v)) // Expected: false
❌ Actual Behavior
constraint, _ := version.NewConstraint("~> 18")
v, _ := version.NewVersion("19.0.0")
fmt.Println(constraint.Check(v)) // Actual: true ❌

🙏 Request
Please fix the parsing logic for ~> constraints to properly enforce the upper bound when only a major version is provided.
