Add app version fetching and display in WelcomeScreen

[piotrmaciejbednarski]

To support project scalability, dynamically load the app version (e.g. in welcome-screen.tsx) instead of hardcoding it. Use getVersion() from the Tauri API (@tauri-apps/api/app) with a fallback to 0.1.0 if it fails. For consistency, put the version-fetching logic in a separate file (src/utils/app-utils.ts). Since getVersion() is async, use a placeholder (...) while loading, it’s unlikely users will notice.

i think just app version is fine and in the component put a v before.

i think just app version is fine and in the component put a v before.

The prefix is added in the function inside app-utils.ts:

export const fetchAppVersion = async (): Promise<string> => {
  try {
    const version = await getVersion();
    return `v${version}`;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Failed to fetch app version:", error);
    // Return default version if fetching fails
    return "v0.1.0";
  }
};

fetchRawAppVersion() that one is better

It really depends on what you want to receive, but in the future fetching the version (probably) will be used in many places so I kept two implementations

yes that's why. returning just the version code would be better. because most of the cases you won't need the "v". so just use 1 function that returns just the code. less code for a simple thing i believe.
