Versioning

The playground uses calendar versioning, YYYY.M.PATCH (for example 2026.10.0), independent of the Opengrep version it bundles. The footer of the app shows both versions.

The bundled Opengrep release is set by opengrepVersion in package.json. CI downloads opengrep-core from the opengrep/opengrep release tagged v<opengrepVersion>.
