fix: simplify version loading with resilient fallback

- Remove redundant pre-scripts (pretest, precli, etc.)
- Keep only prebuild and prepare for the happy path
- Use createRequire with try/catch for resilient fallback
- Try .js first (compiled), then .ts (dev/test) for compatibility
- Falls back to 'unknown' instead of crashing on missing version file
