/health and /health/detailed resolve the version via importlib.metadata first, falling back to hermes_cli.__version__. On editable/source checkouts — including the standard git-based install that hermes-setup performs — hermes_agent-*.dist-info can survive a source update unchanged, so the health endpoints keep reporting the previous release even though the running code (CLI, dashboard, release tags) is newer. Stale metadata does not raise, so the source fallback never fires. Flip the preference: use hermes_cli.__version__ (the runtime source of truth shared by the CLI and dashboard) first, and fall back to distribution metadata only when the source import fails. The never-raise contract of the version probe is unchanged. Observed live: CLI, dashboard, and pyproject all reported 0.18.2 while /health returned 0.18.0 from a stale hermes_agent-0.18.0.dist-info left behind by a source update.
