version: every surface can say which build it is, and two of them were lying
Note 3127 §5 removed version tags, so an artifact's self-report is now the only
answer to "which build is this?" — and nothing exists to contradict it when it
is wrong. Three surfaces gain a dim build line: the foot of the web rail, the
login screen, and the foot of Sync on Android.

The login screen because "I can't sign in" is a bug report like any other, and
requiring an account to read a build number withholds it from exactly the people
who can't get past that page. `/api/config` is already public.

Two of the values it was going to show were wrong, which is the part worth
knowing about.

The DESKTOP reported `env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION")` from `config_get` and from the
startup log. `cargo tauri build --config '{"version": ...}'` overrides
tauri.conf.json, not Cargo's own metadata — so both read the literal `0.2.0` in
Cargo.toml, on every build ever shipped. They now read a display version baked in
by the lane through `option_env!`, hoisted to the crate root because two readers
of one fact is how this repo keeps producing 2181-2183. Not the ordering key
either: `1.0.<minutes>` is the opaque value Tauri's updater compares and must
never be shown to a person, and `update.rs` still reads it because a comparator
is exactly what it is (rule 149).

The SERVER fell back to `__version__` when APP_VERSION was absent, so a server
run from a checkout reported `0.2.0` — a real-looking version naming no build
anybody could obtain. `__init__.py` already asserted the honest answer was
"APP_VERSION being missing, which app.py already handles"; it did not, and a
comment claiming a behaviour two files away is how that stayed true-sounding.
Now an explicit "unknown", with the packaging version left where "unknown" is
not a legal value.

Android reads the INSTALLED package's versionName rather than BuildConfig, so it
reports what is actually on the phone.

Everything renders "unknown" rather than blank when it cannot say. A blank looks
like a layout bug; a plausible default cannot be caught by anything.

build.rs gets `rerun-if-env-changed` for the baked value: cargo does not track an
`option_env!` variable on its own, and the desktop lane having no cache today is
what makes that easy to forget the day one is added.
