🐰 The version label bid farewell,
No longer Development's shell,
A simple file, now gone away,
The repo breathes fresh air today! ✨

Pre-merge checks and finishing touches

❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Title check	⚠️ Warning	The PR title states 'Add .VERSION to gitignore' but the changeset actually deletes the .VERSION file itself, not adds it to gitignore. This is contradictory to the actual change.	Update the title to accurately reflect the change, such as 'Remove .VERSION file' or 'Delete .VERSION artifact', since the file is being deleted rather than added to gitignore.

I didn't realize .VERSION was already in the repo. This caused changes to be re-added. This PR was changed from simple add-to-gitignore to delete file and fix in Dockerfile.
