Version indicator missing from coordinator greeting after install/upgrade #128

Closed

Description

@bradygaster

Problem

After
px create-squad upgrade, the coordinator's first greeting should include \Squad v{version}\ but the version was missing. The \stampVersion()\ function was replacing the version number in the agent file but leaving a literal {version}\ placeholder in the greeting instruction, which LLMs inconsistently failed to substitute.

Fix

\stampVersion()\ in \index.js\ now also replaces the \\Squad v{version}\\ placeholder with the literal version string (e.g., \\Squad v0.5.3\), so the instruction is unambiguous.

Also fixes \compareSemver()\ to correctly handle pre-release version suffixes like -insiders, enabling proper upgrade detection when the insider channel uses \

    Fixed in this release cycle. stampVersion() now replaces the {version} placeholder with the literal version string, and compareSemver() correctly handles pre-release suffixes like -insiders.
