Research direction
Reproduce the Main Menu -> Information -> Core Information screen after loading any core, then compare its implementation with System Information, which already shows RetroArch Version, Git Version, and Build Date. The work is done when Core Information clearly presents the requested core version or library version, Git version, and build date, with the terminology resolved.
