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

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the existing UI components (e.g., modals) in the codebase and find how to retrieve build hash from the build system. Add a new 'About' modal or extend an existing one to display build information.
