XML attributes stripped from pom.xml during version bump

[rodrigobavwork-spec]

Describe the bug
Version 12.6.1 corrupts Maven POM files by stripping XML attributes.

Current behavior
When commit-and-tag-version@12.6.1 processes a Maven pom.xml file, its seen stripping XML attributes from elements. All attributes (taskname, dir, fork, failonerror, classname, refid, value) and their values are completely removed, making the Maven configuration invalid. For example on a maven antrun plugin configuration:

Before commit-and-tag-version

<java taskname="ktlint" dir="${project.basedir}" fork="true" failonerror="true" classname="com.pinterest.ktlint.Main">
  <classpath refid="maven.plugin.classpath"/>
  <arg value="src/**/*.kt"/>
</java>

After commit-and-tag-version

<java>
  <classpath></classpath>
  <arg></arg>
</java>

Expected behavior
XML should remain intact and valid after commit-and-tag-version

Environment

• commit-and-tag-version version(s): 12.6.1
• Node/npm version: Node.js v22.13.1 / npm 10.9.2
• OS: macOS Tahoe 26.1

Additional context

• The issue is reproducible with npx commit-and-tag-version --skip.commit --skip.tag
• confirmed via isolated testing that fast-xml-parser itself preserves attributes correctly, indicating the bug is in commit-and-tag-version's usage/configuration of the parser

Damnit, apologies for this. For a workaround, you can downgrade to the previous version- but we should also fix this.

By previous version, I mean 12.6.0
