Description

When extensions are installed, temporal --version only shows the CLI, Server, and UI versions. It would be useful to also list discovered extensions and their versions, similar to how temporal help --all discovers extensions in PATH.

Current behavior:

temporal: 1.6.2 (Server 1.26.2, UI 2.36.2)

Proposed behavior:

temporal: 1.6.2 (Server 1.26.2, UI 2.36.2)

Extensions:
  temporal-foo: 0.1.0
  temporal-workflow-diagram: 1.2.3

This would require a convention for extensions to report their version (e.g. temporal-foo --version or temporal-foo version).

Open questions:

  • What convention should extensions use to report their version? (--version, version subcommand, or something else?)
  • Should this be opt-in (e.g. --version --all mirroring help --all)?
  • How to handle extensions that don't support version reporting?
