feat: #180 implement --version flag for metadata protocol (#28 proactive demand)

Cycle #28 closes the low-hanging metadata protocol gap identified in #180.

## The Gap

Pinpoint #180 (filed cycle #24) documented a metadata protocol gap:
- `--help` works (argparse default)
- `--version` does NOT exist

The ROADMAP entry deferred implementation pending demand. Cycle #28 dogfood
probe found this during routine invariant audit (attempt to call `--version`
as part of comprehensive CLI surface coverage). This is concrete evidence of
real friction, not speculative gap-filling.

## Implementation

Added `--version` flag to argparse in `build_parser()`:

```python
parser.add_argument('--version', action='version', version='claw-code 1.0.0 (Python harness)')
```

Simple one-liner. Follows Python argparse conventions (built-in action='version').

## Tests Added (3)

TestMetadataFlags in test_exec_route_bootstrap_output_format.py:

1. test_version_flag_returns_version_text — `claw --version` prints version
2. test_help_flag_returns_help_text — `claw --help` still works
3. test_help_still_works_after_version_added — Both -h and --help work

Regression guard on the original help surface.

## Test Status

- 214 → 217 tests passing (+3)
- Zero regressions
- Full suite green

## Discipline

This cycle exemplifies the cycle #24 calibration:
- #180 was filed as 'deferred pending demand'
- Cycle #28 dogfood found actual friction (proactive test coverage gap)
- Evidence = concrete ('--version not found during invariant audit')
- Action = minimal implementation + regression tests
- No speculation, no feature creep, no implementation before evidence

Not 'we imagined someone might want this.' Instead: 'we tried to call it
during routine maintenance, got ENOENT, fixed it.'

Classification (per cycle #24 calibration):
- Red-state bug? ✗ (not a malfunction, just an absence)
- Real friction? ✓ (audit probe could not call the flag, had to special-case)
- Evidence-backed? ✓ (proactive test coverage revealed the gap)

Source: Jobdori cycle #28 dogfood — invariant audit attempting comprehensive
CLI surface coverage found that --version was unsupported.
