Description

Neither the client (src/client/client_cli.c) nor the server (src/server/server.c) supports a --version flag. The PROTOCOL_VERSION macro exists in src/shared/config.h as 1.2.0, but there is no way for users to query the version at runtime.

Location

src/client/client_cli.c (around line 83, where --help is handled)
src/server/server.c (around line 149, where --help is handled)

Suggested Fix

Add a --version flag handler in both binaries that prints the version string from PROTOCOL_VERSION and exits successfully:

if (strcmp(argv[i], "--version") == 0) {
    printf("FastSync version %s\n", PROTOCOL_VERSION);
    return 0;
}

Consider defining a separate FASTSYNC_VERSION macro for the application version distinct from the protocol version.
