fix: the qbit metadata version comes from the build, not a hardcoded constant

The producer read a literal version, so released artifacts reported a stale
or -SNAPSHOT version. qbit-webhooks.properties (version=${project.version}) is
Maven-filtered and the producer loads it; tests assert producer == bundle ==
artifact version.

+### Fixed
+- QBit metadata now reads the Maven artifact version from a filtered resource, keeping snapshot and release versions in sync with the help bundle.
+
 ### Added
 - Central `webhooks.endpoint.<id>` and `webhooks.dispatcher` dependency checks, every 300 seconds, using persisted endpoint health and outbox age.
 - A native home status line linking to the webhooks checks in System Health.
