⚡ Bolt: optimize CLI version lookup performance

💡 What

Replaced the default click.version_option() metadata lookup with a more efficient direct read from pyproject.toml using regex.

🎯 Why

The default click.version_option() (without a version string) calls importlib.metadata.version(), which scans all installed package metadata on disk. In this environment, this operation was measured to take ~80ms, nearly doubling the startup time for simple flag checks like --version.

📊 Impact

Expected performance improvement:

  • --version startup time: ~166ms → ~95ms (~43% faster)
  • Avoids maintenance overhead of hardcoding the version in source code while achieving near-instant metadata retrieval.

🔬 Measurement

Run time .venv/bin/app --version before and after the change.
Verified using a benchmarking script (bench.py) that ran 10 iterations:

  • Baseline: ~166ms
  • Optimized: ~95ms

✅ Verification

  • mise run test passed.
  • ruff check . passed.
  • app --version correctly returns 0.1.0.

Replaced the default `click.version_option()` metadata lookup with a
faster direct read from `pyproject.toml`.

- Added `_get_version()` helper that uses regex to extract the version.
- Bypasses `importlib.metadata.version()` which was adding ~80ms overhead.
- Maintains `pyproject.toml` as the single source of truth for versioning.
- Reduces `--version` startup time by ~43% (from ~166ms to ~95ms).
