Description

Summary: There's currently no way to know which build of the plugin you have installed. For example you might have v0.9.0 installed but you don't know if it's a build from main or the v0.9.0 branch.

Adding the build hash somewhere would help to easily identify this.

Additional context / similar features: Mattermost is a good example. You can always access the About modal to see all the useful info like version, build hash, build date etc. about_mattermost

Look at existing modals like the About modal in the Mattermost plugin for reference. Examine the build configuration to extract build hash and version. The issue has an assignee, so coordinate with them to avoid duplication. Relevant files may be in the webapp directory.
