v0.15.3

UX Improvements

• Added -version flag to agent: Print version and platform information without starting the agent

  • Usage: ./agent -version
  • Shows agent version and platform (OS/architecture)
  • Exits immediately after displaying information
  • Useful for checking agent version before deployment

• Prominent version logging at startup: Agent now logs version information immediately when starting

  • First log message shows version with 🚀 emoji for easy visibility
  • Displays on console during both normal and standalone mode startup
  • Helps with troubleshooting and version verification

Changes

Agent:

• Updated nodes/main.go:
  • Added -version flag (line 84)
  • Added version flag handler that prints version and exits (lines 98-103)
  • Added prominent version log at startup (lines 138-142)
  • Version now logged with platform info immediately after logger initialization

Impact

• Easier version checking without starting full agent
• Clear version visibility in logs for support and debugging
• Consistent with standard CLI tool patterns
• Better operational visibility for agent deployments
