There are two ways.

My thoughts are: (way-1)

current version is 1.10.5
and there was a minor version update, so it was changed to 1.11.0

The following cases are the same.

major 1.10.5 -> 2.0.0

patch 1.10.5 -> 1.10.6

However, other team members think so: (way-2)

current version is 1.10.5
and there was a minor version update, so it was changed to 1.11.5

Which of way-1 and way-2 is more suitable for semver?

Absolutely way-1. The spec explicitly says this here: https://semver.org/#spec-item-7

Patch version MUST be reset to 0 when minor version is incremented.

@ljharb Thank you.

It was clearly stated in the document.
I should have read the document in more detail.

Additionally

Patch and minor version MUST be reset to 0 when major version is incremented.

It became clear and certain!
