Description

Pure frontend strategy using env variables

Inside the Docker image:

```Dockerfile
RUN VERSION=$(grep version setup.py | sed 's/^.*version="//g' | sed 's/\",//g') &&\
npm run build --env.VERSION=$VERSION --env.COMMIT=$COMMIT
```

Inside the webpack:

```javascript
module.exports = function (env){
if (env === undefined) {
env = {}
}
if (!env.COMMIT) {
env.COMMIT = 'x.x.x'
}
if (!env.VERSION) {
env.VERSION = PACKAGE.version
}
...
```

Then use the following to get version

```javascript
const PRESENT_COMMIT = process.env.COMMIT;
const PRESENT_VERSION = process.env.VERSION;
```

Research direction

Start by locating the Dockerfile, webpack configuration, setup.py, and the npm build entry point referenced in the issue. Trace how VERSION and COMMIT reach the frontend, then verify that a Docker build injects both values and that the frontend can read them through the shown environment variables.
