feat: add persistent version indicator on chat screen (#5115)

- Add clickable version indicator in top-right corner of chat view
- Clicking version opens the release notes modal (Announcement component)
- Add proper aria-label for accessibility
- Include hover effects and subtle styling
- Add comprehensive unit tests for the new functionality

Fixes #5115
