Replace hardcoded "1.0.0" version with build-time injection via -ldflags. The version is derived from the git tag (e.g. v1.2.3 → 1.2.3) in CI release builds, Docker builds, and Makefile targets. Local dev builds default to "dev".

What
Replace the hardcoded
1.0.0server version with build-time injection via Go-ldflags. When a GitHub release is created (e.g. tagv1.2.3), the server version automatically becomes1.2.3.Why
The server always reported version
1.0.0regardless of the actual release. This made it impossible to tell which version was running from the API (/api/version,/api/settings).How
var version = "dev"incmd/buggregator/main.go, overridden via-X main.version=..."1.0.0"fromconfig.gorelease.yml): extracts version fromGITHUB_REF_NAME(stripsvprefix)Dockerfile): acceptsVERSIONbuild-arg, passed fromdocker/metadata-actionoutputVERSIONvariable (defaults todev), e.g.make build VERSION=1.2.3Testing
