Fix layout strategy generation issues across UI design commands:
- consolidate.md: Enhance layout synthesis prompt with explicit examples and requirements
* Add concrete 3-layout example to clarify expected output structure
* Emphasize requirement to generate EXACTLY N strategies (not more, not less)
* Add sequential ID validation (layout-1, layout-2, ..., layout-N)
- explore-auto.md: Add missing --layout-variants parameter to consolidate command call
* Phase 2 now passes layout_variants count to ensure correct strategy generation
* Prevents mismatch between requested layouts and generated strategies
- extract.md: Update next step suggestions to include --layout-variants parameter
* Users now see optional [--layout-variants <count>] in command examples
* Improves discoverability of layout customization option
Before: consolidate would only generate default 3 layouts even when user specified different count
After: consolidate receives and respects user-specified layout variant count

**Problem**:
- version.json showed "version": "latest" for dev builds
- Non-descriptive and not useful for version tracking
**Solution**:
- Use "dev-{commit_sha}" format for development builds
- Stable releases: "3.4.1" (from tag)
- Development builds: "dev-4ec1a17" (from commit SHA)
- API failure fallback: "dev-unknown"
**Version Format Examples**:
```json
// Stable release
{"version": "3.4.1", "commit_sha": "4ec1a17"}
// Development build
{"version": "dev-4ec1a17", "commit_sha": "4ec1a17"}
