Description
The tool doesn’t list its own version number. I installed an official release for Ubuntu/Debian from https://portal.influxdata.com/downloads/
```

This is pretty minor because the package manager tracks the version, but it could potentially hamper support or debug efforts if not installed from a package, especially if built outside of git (meaning the date doesn't really tell us the version).

Research direction
Start with the `influx version` CLI command and compare its output with the package-manager version shown in the report. Trace how version information is assembled for official Ubuntu/Debian releases and builds outside git; done means the command reports the release version rather than only `dev`, git, and build-date details.
