The publicly-deployed copilotj.chat frontend can point at user self-hosted
servers. Add a MAJOR.MINOR protocol version so the frontend can detect an
incompatible (typically too-old) server instead of silently breaking.
Backend:
- copilotj/server/protocol.py: API_VERSION_MAJOR/MINOR integers combined
into API_VERSION = "1.0" (bump MAJOR on breaking protocol changes, MINOR
on backward-compatible additions).
- server.py: add GET /api/version -> {"api_version": ...}; /api/ping is
unchanged.
Frontend:
- web/src/apis/version.ts: API_VERSION constant, getServerVersion(), and
isApiVersionCompatible() (compatible when MAJOR matches).
- store/state.ts: apiVersionStatus (compatible/incompatible/unknown) and a
checkApiVersion() action.
- SettingsConnection.vue (wizard Step 1): inline version status after a
successful connect; non-blocking.
- ChatboxHello.vue: dismissible version banner for returning users.
- Chat.vue: run checkApiVersion() on load and after the wizard completes.
The backend protocol.py and frontend version.ts constants must be kept in
sync by hand (called out in both docstrings).
