Have hint about from which minimax "version" current config was installed from

[felix-as]

To be able to check changelogs etc it would be nice if init.lua would mention the current commit, version, tag, or date of the (upstream) version. I think commit hash + date would probably be the most convenient.

That's an interesting suggestion, thanks!

Updating all configs whenever there is any update, however small, seems to be too much. The current solution is to check the cloned/downloaded MiniMax repo. Its latest commit and CHANGELOG.md entry should give a hint.

But I'll think more about how to possibly improve this.

After thinking about it, I don't think there is a good and not really intrusive way of achieving that.

The best thing I could think of is to adjust setup.lua (here) to auto add a separate line (like -- This config was generated 2026-04-20 11:12:13), but this feels a bit too much.

There is already this information (usually) available for the initial MiniMax setup in the form of the initial Git commit. It contains a date.

Other than that, I think it is only reasonable to suggest keeping manual track of when there was the most recent "MiniMax synchronization". Like in the form of an explicit commit and then inspecting git log.
