Fix build version showing "unknown" in production

The previous approach baked git rev-parse --short HEAD into the image
at Docker build time, but Dockhand's build context doesn't reliably
have .git available, so it silently fell back to "unknown" in
production even though the build itself succeeded. Replace it with a
plain VERSION file committed to the repo (a timestamp + short
description, updated by hand alongside each commit) that ships via the
same COPY . . as everything else - no git access needed inside the
build at all.

Dockerfile) - lets Settings and /health show which version is
actually running, the only way to confirm a git push made it into a
rebuilt container, since the webhook does a full image rebuild with
no other visible confirmation. Falls back to 'dev' outside Docker,
where there's no BUILD_VERSION file (e.g. running via --library-path
directly).

"unknown" instead of a real commit. Falls back to 'dev' if the file is
