version

var (
	Version = "dev"
	Commit  = "none"
	Date    = "unknown"
)

These variables are set at build time via ldflags. When ldflags are missing (e.g., release pipeline drops them, or a contributor builds from source without the Makefile), init() enriches them from the Go binary's embedded VCS info (debug.ReadBuildInfo), so --version always gives meaningful output.
