Version Detection

Ward automatically detects version information from multiple sources:
  1. Build-time ldflags - When built with go build -ldflags
  2. Go module metadata - When installed via go install github.com/eljakani/ward@v0.3.0
  3. VCS information - Git commit hash from build metadata
If installed via go install, the version will match the specified tag: 
go install github.com/eljakani/ward@v0.3.0
ward version
Output: 
  Version: v0.3.0
  Commit:  a1b2c3d
  Built:   2026-03-01T14:30:00Z
