Summary

Show the running binary's version in the shared Console brand on reader and account pages, including sign-in. The value comes from Cargo package metadata and follows release builds automatically.

- thirdshift / Console
+ thirdshift 0.18.7 / Console

Closes #1656

Evidence

• On 8ed95427, RUST_TEST_THREADS=3 NEXTEST_TEST_THREADS=3 scripts/affected-tests origin/main passed: 60 site tests, 125 Console browser tests, the locked binary build and the full Rust suite. Rust validation took 2355.12s including compilation. The global artifact build also passed locally in 2.68s; installer shell syntax and both binary archive checksums passed.
• Before: cargo test --test console console_pages_show_the_running_thirdshift_version -- --exact failed because Inbox did not show thirdshift 0.18.7 / Console.
  After: the same test passes on Inbox, Logs, Account and Console log, comparing the header with the running binary's --version output.
• cargo check --locked and cargo fmt --check pass.
• Chromium checks at 375px and 1440px confirm the version is visible on Inbox and Account with JavaScript disabled; screenshots inspected.
• scripts/affected-tests main passed the site suite and build, then stopped on an existing live CI-badge update test's 5-second timeout. The exact case passes in isolation: node --test --test-name-pattern='^Ready rows show CI without clipping on desktop or phone and update live$' console/tests/inbox.test.cjs (1 passed, 3.23s). GitHub's complete console-test suite also passed on this same head.
• The full Rust suite, formatting, clippy and macOS gate passed in CI for reviewed head 82fdd5f778349867fefa0fea4f72e17a64fe2bc9. Console and site CI also passed.
• Supplemental local /usr/bin/time -p cargo test -- --test-threads=3: stopped after successful same-head CI, following the repository's CI reuse policy (exit 130; 1145.48s wall time, compilation included). The binary unit suite (1,621 passed, 3 ignored), full Console HTTP suite and completed integration suites passed; no Rust failures were observed before stopping.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way

Reverting restores the previous header text. No persistent data changes.

Blast Radius: Console

Reader and account header text, plus the public site's Console description.

Test seams

• The Console's public HTTP pages and the running binary's --version output: reader and account pages display the same thirdshift version.

Review coverage

Independent thirdshift-code-review against main: Standards 0 findings; Spec 0 findings. Both axes read all five changed files. Generated-output exclusions: none. Unread changed files: none.

Unaddressed findings

Security review outcome

No unaddressed introduced findings.

CI notes

• build-global-artifacts was cancelled by GitHub's five-minute job timeout after dist succeeded, all three artifacts uploaded, and the logs reached runner cleanup (job and annotation); the release workflow, generator and dist configuration are identical to main, and dist build --output-format=json --artifacts=global passes locally in 2.68s using this run's binary artifacts.
