src/version.ts — the VERSION constant

Purpose

A one-export leaf holding the package version string. Extracted from index.ts so that cli and orchestrator (which print the version in banners/--version) don’t import the public façade — that import formed a cycle (index → orchestrator → index) that only worked via ESM live-binding hoisting.

Public surface

export const VERSION: string

index.ts re-exports it, so the public package name is unchanged.

The single source of truth is package.json: the file imports it (pkg.version), Bun resolves the JSON import natively and inlines it under bun build --compile, so a release bump can never drift from what --version and the footer print.

Replacing this module

A version from anywhere else (a build stamp, a git describe) is this one import to change; every reader takes VERSION.
