Implement /api/version API endpoint that returns app version

[eecavanna]

Summary

• Implemented an API endpoint (/api/version) that returns the application version number
• Added a test targeting that endpoint
• Note: Most of the commits in this branch are related to linting

Screenshot showing that the API returns the same version number as Swagger UI shows:

Linting is failing in GitHub Actions. I don't know how I can run the same checks locally so as to avoid racking up GHA costs.

For now, I'll look at the flake8 docs and try to map those to the code.

You should be able to run locally with tox.

If you just want to run the linting test, try tox -e lint.

You can also try auto-formatting the files with tox -e format, which will use black to format the python files. You can check black's work by re-running tox -e lint.

Thanks, @naglepuff. By the way, I made another commit before I saw your message (it's being GHA tested now).

I had been trying to run everything (including tox) within the backend Docker container, since I don't have the dependencies installed directly on my host. If the current GHA test fails (edit: It failed), I'll try to get my host machine set up to run tox (and the other commands you listed)—thanks!

LGTM!

Thanks! I forgot to say: you can "squash" the branch into a single commit (upon merge, assuming GitHub still offers that ability) if you want. I consider most of the commits to have been "noise."

FYI - I don't have access to merge this.

Merging it is not particularly urgent, from my perspective.
