Zheng FengandGitHub a9145e426c feat(frontend): show real project version on About page (#4126)
* feat(frontend): show real project version on About page

The About page heading was hardcoded "About DeerFlow 2.0" while the real
version is 2.1.0, kept in lockstep across backend/pyproject.toml,
frontend/package.json, and Chart.yaml by scripts/verify_versions.sh.
With the nightly workflow shipping unreleased main daily, a hardcoded
version drifts further from reality every day.

Wire the heading to the real version, nightly-aware:
- src/version.ts reads NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION (nightly override) with a
  package.json fallback for release/local builds.
- about-content.ts interpolates APP_VERSION into the heading; the
  "DeerFlow 1.0 and 2.0" milestone copy in acknowledgments is left as-is.
- Dockerfile adds ARG APP_VERSION / ENV NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION in the
  builder stage so nightly CI can stamp the version.
- nightly.yaml computes the nightly string once in prepare
  (<base>-nightly.<date>-<sha>, mirroring the chart scheme) and feeds it
  to both the frontend image build-arg and the chart publish (refactored
  to consume the shared output, so the displayed version and chart
  version can't drift). Release builds (container.yaml) are untouched
  and fall back to package.json.

Tests cover the version branches and the heading interpolation;
RELEASING.md notes the About page as a derived version consumer.

* test(frontend): assert positive About-page version value

Address review feedback on #4126: the unset-env assertion was negative-only
(checked the stale "2.0" literal was gone), so it would still pass if
APP_VERSION interpolated to "" or undefined. Mirror version.test.ts by
asserting the heading carries the real resolved APP_VERSION.

* ci(nightly): fail loudly on empty base version

Address review feedback on #4126: the prepare step's BASE (parsed from
Chart.yaml) had no empty-guard. A malformed/missing version would yield
`-nightly.<date>-<sha>` (invalid semver) that now flows into both the
chart publish and the frontend About-page version. Add `set -euo pipefail`
plus a `test -n "$BASE"` guard mirroring publish-chart. `pipefail` matters
- without it the pipeline's exit code is awk's, so `set -e` alone wouldn't
catch a grep miss.

DeerFlow Frontend

Like the original DeerFlow 1.0, we would love to give the community a minimalistic and easy-to-use web interface with a more modern and flexible architecture.

Scripts

Command Description
pnpm dev Start development server with Turbopack
