CI duplicated the Makefile's steps and built the binary without -trimpath or the version-stamped -ldflags, so it could pass while make build failed and the CI binary reported dev. Make the Makefile the single build definition: CI now runs make test and make build, then prints the binary's build info as evidence of the version stamp.
