**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"}
```
**Benefits**:
- Clear distinction between stable and dev versions
- version field always contains meaningful information
- No more "latest" placeholder values

**Version Tracking Enhancement**:
- Add commit_sha field to version.json for distinguishing development versions
- Auto-detect commit SHA from downloaded repository using git rev-parse
- Fallback to GitHub API if git is unavailable
- Update both PowerShell and Bash installers
**version.json Structure**:
```json
{
"version": "3.4.1",
"commit_sha": "9a49a86",
"installation_mode": "Global",
"installation_path": "...",
"installation_date_utc": "...",
"source_branch": "main",
"installer_version": "2.2.0"
}
```
**Benefits**:
- /version command can precisely identify installed version
- Distinguish between stable releases and development builds
- Track exact commit for debugging and support

- Prioritize apply_patch tool over Python scripts for file editing
- Add Windows UTF-8 encoding configuration for Chinese character support
**Version Flow**:
1. install-remote.* detects version from GitHub API (latest release tag)
2. Passes version to Install-Claude.* via -SourceVersion/-SourceBranch
3. Installer writes accurate version to version.json
