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.

Replacing this module

If versioning ever derives from package.json at build/publish time, this file is the single place to generate.
