Description

A --version command line option to get the current release version would be nice!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the existing command line argument parsing in main.cpp (e.g., using a library like argparse or manual parsing). Check if there is a version macro or constant defined in a header or CMakeLists.txt. The issue is straightforward: add a version flag that prints the current version and exits. No linked PRs or comments provide additional context.
