version

Overview ¶

Package version holds the build identity stamped into the binary at link time. It lives here rather than in package main so that code below the entry point can read it: the proxy sends its version to Temporal Cloud on every outbound request, and nothing on that path can import main.

The values are plain variables because the linker's -X flag can only write to one, not to a constant. For the same reason each is initialized with a string literal: -X silently does nothing to a variable whose initializer calls a function, so a computed default would leave the flag with no effect. They are never assigned at run time, so reading them concurrently is safe.

A build that passes no flags keeps the defaults below, which is what a developer build reports.
