Description

Suggestion for versioning of Kafka messages:

After input from Ulrich, send version with the message - so we don't rely on the transport (Kafka)

{"version" : "k0.1.0"}

Use "k" to denote that this is separate to the api version (v)

if k0.1.0 is requested, then we expect the answer to be in k0.1.0

Research direction

Start by tracing how Kafka messages are produced and consumed in the Scala project, then compare that path with the existing API version handling. Define where the k-prefixed version belongs, how a requested version selects the response version, and how compatibility is verified; done means producers and consumers consistently exchange and honor the message version.
