Walkthrough

The build now generates Git and artifact metadata. A new version module exposes this metadata through an unauthenticated GET /api/v1/version endpoint. Tests cover populated and missing metadata.

Changes

Backend version endpoint

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Build metadata generation pom.xml	The Maven build runs Spring Boot build-info and Git metadata generation with UTC timestamps and selected properties.
Version response assembly src/main/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/version/api/VersionResponse.java, src/main/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/version/service/..., src/main/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/version/package-info.java, src/test/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/version/service/...	The version module defines response records, assembles optional Git and build metadata, logs unavailable providers, and tests populated and missing metadata.
Public version endpoint src/main/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/version/controller/VersionController.java, src/main/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/security/config/SecurityConfig.java, src/test/java/com/itasocialacademy/oitassist/version/controller/...	The controller exposes GET /api/v1/version without authentication. MVC tests validate status, content type, JSON fields, and missing build metadata behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b8729

The new version endpoint may return incomplete commit information because the build does not currently generate the required metadata file. The PR should not merge until the Maven build is updated to produce that metadata reliably.

Poem

Git marks the branch,
Build time joins the stream,
A public endpoint answers,
Even when fields are unseen,
Version travels cleanly.
