Read the --version string from package.json

[kev1n]

What changes

• src/version.ts (new) exports VERSION, read at runtime from the package's own package.json with createRequire(import.meta.url)('../package.json'). This is the same pattern getanyapi-com/mcp uses in its src/version.ts.
• src/index.ts passes VERSION to commander's .version() instead of the hard-coded "0.8.0". No hand-kept version string remains in src/.
• __tests__/version.test.ts (new) runs the real entrypoint with --version, captures what it prints, and fails if that differs from package.json.

No version bump, no publish, no changelog entry.

Why

src/index.ts:34 hard-coded .version("0.8.0"), so the published 0.9.1 prints 0.8.0. Measured across releases, the printed version was wrong in 7 of 15. Every release needed a second manual edit, and it was missed about half the time.

../package.json resolves from both src/ (tests) and dist/ (the published build), because both sit one level below the package root. npm always includes package.json in the tarball. The lookup goes through the module's own URL, not the working directory, so the installed CLI reports its own release wherever it is run from.

Proof

The test fails on the old code (new test only, src/index.ts unchanged):

AssertionError: expected '0.8.0\n' to be '0.9.1\n' // Object.is equality
 Test Files  1 failed (1)

With the fix:

 Test Files  1 passed (1)
      Tests  1 passed (1)

Repo gate (npm test && npm run build, from AGENTS.md):

 Test Files  12 passed (12)
      Tests  102 passed (102)
> anyapi-cli@0.9.1 build
> tsc -p tsconfig.json
build_exit=0

Packed artifact. I ran npm pack, installed the tarball into an empty temp project created by npm init -y (whose own package.json says 1.0.0), then ran the installed binary:

$ npm pack --pack-destination /tmp/wf-cli-version-pack
npm notice 489B dist/version.js
npm notice 889B package.json
npm notice filename: anyapi-cli-0.9.1.tgz
$ cd /tmp/wf-cli-version-pack/install && npm install ../anyapi-cli-0.9.1.tgz
added 3 packages in 353ms
$ ./node_modules/.bin/anyapi --version
0.9.1
$ node -p "require('./package.json').version"   # the temp project's own manifest
1.0.0

The installed CLI prints its own 0.9.1, not the old 0.8.0 and not the surrounding project's 1.0.0.
