When to use it

'Which EK9 compiler version is this' is one call with {} - the toolchain version string for a bug report, diagnostic bundle or compatibility check.

When not to use it

• The project's OWN package version (from the package directive) - use ek9_query_package_version.
• The full package directive (name, version, deps) - use ek9_query_package.
• Build state (last outcome, freshness) rather than a version string - use ek9_query_build_status.

Details

Pure static read of the compiler-binary version baked in at build time — no workspace, compile phase or symbol tables involved, so no trustLevel is emitted. The value is constant for the lifetime of the binary: call once per session and reuse from conversation history rather than re-invoking. Same value as the CLI 'ek9 -V'.

Arguments

None of its own.
