Description

Proposal:
It would be nice to have the currently available version of Flux visible somewhere in the Data Explorer.

Current behavior:
To find the current Flux version, you have to query for it.

Desired behavior:
I want to see the Flux version in the Data Explorer so I know exactly which version of Flux I'm working with.

Use case:
There may be times where different regions have different versions of Flux, depending on the current state of deployment. I'd like to know what version I'm currently querying against without having to actually query the version.

Research direction

Start by locating the Data Explorer entry point and how it currently handles Flux queries. Add a visible indication of the Flux version being used, and verify that the displayed version reflects the region or deployment being queried without requiring a separate version query.
