Research direction

Start with version.py and trace the azdev extension build path that reads VERSION and produces the wheel filename. Reproduce the build for 1.0.0-rc.4, then inspect the generated metadata and filename; done means the release-candidate separator is preserved for validation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Version specified in the version.py - VERSION = "1.0.0-rc.4"

The generated whl file version is collapsed to - arcappliance-1.0.0rc4-py2.py3-none-any.whl which is not compatible with semantic versioning.

(This was causing issues with some validation we run on the version of the whl file.)
