Subject: [PATCH 1/2] chore: wire CLI version via ldflags at build time

Added ldflags configuration to GoReleaser and Makefile to inject the actual CLI version, commit hash, and build date at compile time.

This ensures:
- GoReleaser builds embed the release version from git tags
- Local builds via `make build` use git describe for versioning
- The version command displays accurate version info instead of "dev"

Closes #192

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] chore: ensures proper string quoting in LDFLAGS

Properly quotes the arguments passed to the `-X` ldflag to ensure
correct interpretation of version information during the build
process.

The embedded version information was not being interpreted correctly due to
missing quotes.
