Five hand-maintained version literals (pyproject, Cargo.toml, tauri.conf.json,
package.json, version.py) drifting is what shipped a 0.3.6 build calling itself
0.3.5 (package.json lagged; the frozen backend's literal lagged). Collapse to
one canonical source.
- frontend/package.json is canonical: vite already injects __APP_VERSION__ from
it (first-run setup footer + bug reports).
- tauri.conf.json now reads its bundle version from it ("version":
"../package.json", a supported Tauri v2 feature) — the MSI/dmg/updater version
can no longer drift from the UI. Removes the most error-prone literal.
- Cargo.toml + pyproject.toml + version.py's _FALLBACK_VERSION remain as
toolchain-required CI-guarded mirrors, bumped in lockstep from the canonical.
- release.yml: the preview-stamp and version-bump jobs now read/write
package.json (the canonical) and no longer touch the derived tauri.conf.json.
- tests/test_app_version.py: new test_tauri_version_derives_from_package_json
guards the path; the lockstep test now checks the mirrors against the
canonical package.json.
- CLAUDE.md versioning rule updated to document the single-source model.
6 version tests pass.
