Show build information in web UI

[WilliamK112]

Summary

• pass the existing linker-injected version and commit into the server as explicit build information
• expose build information through the shared UI layout and render it below the repository link in the footer
• add handler and constructor coverage for the build-information data path

Why

The CLI already reports the running version and commit, but the web UI had no access to those values. Operators therefore could not identify the deployed build from the dashboard. This keeps main.Version and main.Commit as the single source of truth while making the same information available on every rendered UI page.

Validation

• go test ./internal/server
• go test ./...
• go test -race ./...
• go vet ./...
• go tool golangci-lint run ./... (0 issues)
• built with -X main.Version=1.2.3 -X main.Commit=abc123; both proxy --version and a live /ui/ response contained proxy 1.2.3 (abc123)
• git diff --check

Closes #256

Pull request overview

This PR threads linker-injected build metadata (version + commit) from cmd/proxy into the internal server, exposes it via the shared UI Layout, and renders it in the footer so operators can see the deployed build from any UI page.

Changes:

• Add a BuildInfo struct and carry it through server.New(...) into Server and Layout.
• Render build info in the shared footer template.
• Extend server tests to cover the build-info data path and footer rendering.

The shared footer reads .Version and .Commit directly. On pages whose data structs define Version, including VersionShowData and BrowseSourceData, that page field shadows Layout.BuildInfo.Version, so the footer displays package data as the proxy build version. Please reference .BuildInfo.Version and .BuildInfo.Commit explicitly and add coverage for a page with its own Version field.

[WilliamK112]

@andrew Footer now reads .BuildInfo.Version / .BuildInfo.Commit so package Version fields on VersionShowData and BrowseSourceData no longer shadow the proxy build. Added template coverage for both pages plus HTTP assertions on version-show and browse-source. Also merged latest main (access logging / Helm) while keeping the BuildInfo constructor argument.

go test ./internal/server is green locally.

[andrew]

Thanks for the update, the footer and tests now cover the shadowing case.

Two remaining items:

• internal/server/layout.go: BuildInfo is embedded in Layout, so Version and Commit are still promoted through Layout into every page data struct. The footer now reads .BuildInfo.Version explicitly, but the promotion means any template that writes {{.Version}} or {{.Commit}} still gets page-dependent behaviour. Make it a named field (BuildInfo BuildInfo) so the fields aren't promoted at all. The template, layoutFor, and the tests already access it as .BuildInfo.…, so only the struct definition changes.
• internal/server/server_test.go (newTestServer): the Server{} literal now has mixed alignment across cfg/db/storage/logger, buildInfo, and templates/healthCache. Please realign.

[WilliamK112]

Addressed both remaining items on 02e8c3c:

• Layout now uses the named field BuildInfo BuildInfo, so Version and Commit are no longer promoted into page data.
• newTestServer now keeps the entire Server literal consistently aligned.

Validation: go test ./... and git diff --check both pass.
