Description

The response from the config server has fields for label and version, but these are null when using the composite environment repository feature. It would be nice if the response from the config server accommodated the composite repository feature somehow. Unfortunately it might be a breaking change to do so since there would be multiple versions and only currently one version field in the response.
This was mentioned originally in #1007

Research direction

Start by reading issue #1007 and the composite environment repository handling in the config server. Determine how label and version should represent multiple repositories without silently breaking the existing response contract. Done means the response shape and compatibility behavior are clearly specified for implementation.
