`ui_version`

EternalJK

Needs review. The inventory/provenance evidence is recorded, but some behavior, options, or attribution still lacks a direct user-facing source.

Engine-managed. The game maintains this value itself, so it is not a setting to change by hand: no registration exists; every cited site only writes it with Cvar_Set, so a value you set is replaced the next time that code runs.

Used by UI in the in-game “about” menu
