Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix: generated code passes the format check with no
 author set

* the @author line in file headers only carries a name when one is set
* without a user_name in the Copier settings, the line no longer ends in spaces, which made make format-dry-run fail

 * fix/bash-history-mount: shell history in the dev container persists between sessions.
 * feature/version-file: generated projects take their package version from VERSION; existing projects run `uv lock` once after updating.
 * feature/plain-version: VERSION holds a plain X.Y.Z here and in generated projects, with CI adding the v for tags; existing projects remove the v from VERSION once.
