Default version string in build.zig is stale (2026.5.26 vs latest v2026.06.09) #3

Description

@DonPrus

build.zig:538:

const app_version = b.option([]const u8, "version", "Version string embedded in the binary") orelse "2026.5.26";

The fallback is only overridden at release time via -Dversion=..., so a plain zig build produces a binary reporting 2026.5.26 while the latest release is v2026.06.09.

Suggested fix: bump the fallback as part of the release process (or derive it from git describe / a VERSION file) so local builds don't report a stale version.
