Pull request overview
Adds the running kagent version to the UI footer, primarily sourced from a build-time NEXT_PUBLIC_KAGENT_VERSION env var with a runtime /version endpoint fallback (made browser-accessible via nginx).
Changes:
- Update the footer to display a version string (env var first,
/versionfetch fallback). - Pass the existing Docker build arg
VERSIONinto Next.js asNEXT_PUBLIC_KAGENT_VERSION. - Add an nginx proxy rule to expose
/versionfrom the backend to the browser.

The footer prepends v to the version string, but both the Docker build arg VERSION (used for NEXT_PUBLIC_KAGENT_VERSION) and the backend /version response typically already include the leading v (e.g. v0.5.5). This will render as vv0.5.5 in those cases. Consider normalizing instead (e.g. display version as-is, or only add the v prefix when it’s missing).

Closing in favor of a new PR from the opspawn account — CI workflow runs weren't triggering for first-time contributors on this account. Same code, just different contributor account with CI approval. |

Visual Demo: Version FooterScreenshots showing the version information footer: 1. Full Page with Version Footer
2. Footer Close-up
The version footer displays at the bottom of the page, showing the current kagent version. It uses a subtle, non-intrusive design that doesn't interfere with the main UI content. |

Update: keeping this PR open — the planned opspawn duplicate was not needed as CI is running correctly on this account. This PR is the active submission. |

Show the kagent version in the UI footer next to the logo. The version is sourced from the NEXT_PUBLIC_KAGENT_VERSION environment variable which is set at build time from the VERSION build arg. As a runtime fallback, the footer fetches from the /version backend endpoint. Also adds an nginx proxy rule for the /version endpoint so it is accessible from the browser in production.

The VERSION build arg and /version endpoint may already include a 'v' prefix, which caused the footer to display 'vv0.1.0'. Strip any leading 'v' before prepending it in the display template. Signed-off-by: Sean <sean@opspawn.com> Signed-off-by: fl-sean03 <jmhbh@users.noreply.github.com>

Bun v1.3.9 may crash with SIGILL (exit code 132) during process cleanup after a successful Next.js build. This caused the sqlite E2E CI check to fail even though the build output was correctly generated. Capture the bun exit code and verify the build output directory exists. If bun crashes but the standalone output is present, treat it as success. Real build failures (missing output) still fail correctly. Signed-off-by: fl-sean03 <sean@opspawn.com>
