## Vendored Graphviz

Fabro no longer requires a system-installed `dot` binary to render workflow graphs. The Graphviz C library is now compiled directly into the Fabro binary, so graph rendering works out of the box on every platform. Rendering runs in an isolated subprocess to contain any native library faults, so a malformed graph can't crash the main process.

## `fabro version` command

You can now check your installed version and build metadata with a dedicated command. The output includes the git SHA and build date, making it easy to identify exactly which build you're running — especially useful when reporting issues or verifying upgrades.

```bash
fabro version
```
