Description

We need to clarify and standardize how versioning is handled across the application. Currently versions are used in multiple contexts, including release tags, UI display, API responses, and documentation, but there is no single defined standard.

This request is to establish and document an official versioning approach so contributors and users have a consistent understanding of how versions are created, incremented, and communicated.
