Progress entries

2026-07-23 — implemented

• Phase: implementation → needs-review
• Did:
  • cli/the_loop/__init__.py: __version__ now derives from importlib.metadata.version("the-loopy-one") with a 0.0.0+unknown fallback for an uninstalled source tree — no longer a hardcoded "0.1.0".
  • cli/the_loop/webhook/server.py: server_version built from __version__ instead of the hardcoded "the-loop-gh-webhook/0.1.0".
  • cli/tests/test_cli.py: added regression tests asserting __version__ matches installed metadata, is not "0.1.0", and that --version prints the-loop <version>.
  • docs/capabilities/cli.md: documented the derived-version behaviour + history row.
• Checkpoint/tests: ruff check, ruff format --check, pyright (0 errors), pytest — 241 passed. Under uv the package is installed, so --version reports 0.14.0.
• Next: open PR, request review.
• Blockers: none.

Final validation evidence

Recorded on the PR: local gate output (ruff/pyright/pytest) and uv run --project cli python -c "import the_loop; print(the_loop.__version__)" printing the installed version (0.14.0) rather than 0.1.0.
