Jan Novak ae434a7167 Bake git commit into the binary and log it at startup
New internal/version package: ldflags-stamped Commit with a
debug.ReadBuildInfo VCS fallback for host builds. Startup log line
carries commit + Go version; --version prints the hash and exits.
Makefile computes GIT_COMMIT (12 chars, -dirty on any local change) and
passes it to docker-build/buildx; Dockerfile injects it via -ldflags and
an org.opencontainers.image.revision label. make build now uses ./cmd —
file-argument builds skip Go's automatic VCS stamp.

# Execution: Bake the git commit into the operator binary and log it at startup
Plan: `docs/plans/2026-08-11-1802-bake-commit-version.md`
- [x] Step 0 — Save and commit the plan
- [x] Step 1 — `internal/version` package + tests
- [x] Step 2 — `cmd/main.go`: `--version` flag + startup log line
- [x] Step 3 — Makefile `GIT_COMMIT` + `--build-arg` wiring
- [x] Step 4 — Dockerfile `-ldflags` stamp + OCI revision label
- [ ] Step 5 — CHANGELOG entry (after the user confirms it works live)
## Steps 14
Mostly as planned. One deviation worth recording: the plan claimed
`build`/`run` targets need no changes because Go's automatic VCS stamp covers
host builds — that turned out to be only half true. Go skips VCS stamping
when the build target is a *file argument* rather than a package pattern, and
the Makefile's `build` target used `go build -o bin/manager cmd/main.go`.
Verified empirically:
```bash
go build -o bin/manager cmd/main.go && ./bin/manager --version # unknown (no vcs settings)
go build -o bin/manager ./cmd && ./bin/manager --version # e4d2a191d0c2-dirty
```
So `build:` now uses `go build -o bin/manager ./cmd`. `go run` never stamps
VCS info regardless of invocation form — `make run`/`run-dev` print
`commit=unknown`, which is acceptable for dev loops (the Dockerfile path uses
the explicit ldflags stamp and is unaffected; it kept `cmd/main.go`).
The ldflags path was verified independently:
```bash
go build -ldflags "-X gitea.home.hrajfrisbee.cz/kacerr/egress-proxies-operator/internal/version.Commit=deadbeef1234" \
-o bin/manager-stamped cmd/main.go
./bin/manager-stamped --version # deadbeef1234
```
Worth noting: `cmd/main.go` imports k8s apimachinery as `runtime`, so the
stdlib runtime needed an alias (`goruntime "runtime"`) for
`goruntime.Version()` in the startup line. The `--version` check happens
right after `flag.Parse()`, before logger and manager setup, so it works
without a kubeconfig.
## Verification
```bash
go vet ./... && go test ./... # all green, incl. new resolve() table tests
go build -o bin/manager ./cmd && ./bin/manager --version # e4d2a191d0c2-dirty
```
The image-level check could not run locally — the Docker daemon was not
running. `make docker-build IMG=egress-proxies-operator:dev` did prove the
Makefile side before failing at the daemon: it invoked
`docker build --build-arg GIT_COMMIT=e4d2a191d0c2-dirty ...`. Still pending
(needs a running daemon):
```bash
make docker-build IMG=egress-proxies-operator:dev
docker run --rm egress-proxies-operator:dev --version
docker inspect egress-proxies-operator:dev --format '{{index .Config.Labels "org.opencontainers.image.revision"}}'
```
