There was a problem hiding this comment.
I would like this PR to be split, with the first PR containing only the minimum to add version information (i.e. remove the workflow and reduce/eliminate changes to the Makefile).
I would prefer we don't impose a requirement to change every command. I think the lib/flags/loadflags package is a convenient place to make a fairly central change.
Finally, instead of injecting compile/link flags, I think it's better to use the embed package.
