grubforge --version launches the TUI instead of printing a version

[jetomev]

Summary

grubforge --version does not print a version — it launches the full TUI. So does grubforge --help, grubforge -v, and grubforge anything-at-all. No arguments are handled anywhere.

Why it matters

Checking the installed version is the first thing anyone does when reporting a bug, following an upgrade, or confirming a package landed. Right now that lands you inside a bootloader manager you didn't mean to open, and you have to press q to escape.

It is also the standard thing a maintainer or packager tries first, and the standard thing that is expected to work.

The version is already known in three places — grubforge/__init__.py __version__, grubforge/app.py VERSION, and the sidebar — so nothing needs to be computed, only printed.

Current behaviour

/usr/bin/grubforge forwards everything straight through:

#!/bin/sh
exec python /usr/lib/grubforge/main.py "$@"

and main.py ignores it entirely:

from grubforge.app import GrubForgeApp

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = GrubForgeApp()
    app.run()

There is no argparse and no sys.argv reference anywhere in the package.

Suggested behaviour

Minimal and boring is right here:

• --version / -V → grubForge 1.1.0, exit 0
• --help / -h → one-line description, the flags, and a pointer to man grubforge, exit 0
• an unrecognised flag → short usage on stderr, non-zero exit — rather than silently opening the TUI
• no arguments → launch the TUI, exactly as today

Take the version from grubforge.__version__ so there is one source rather than a fourth copy to drift. grubforge/app.py's VERSION should ideally read from it too — it was already found stale once during the v1.1.0 release, and again in v1.0.3 before that.

Not new in v1.1.0

Present since v1.0.0. Noticed on 2026-08-23 while verifying the packaged v1.1.0 install, when grubforge --version opened the interface and had to be killed.

Fixed in v2.0.0

grubforge --version prints the version and grubforge --help prints the usage, both without opening the app. Released in https://github.com/jetomev/grubforge/releases/tag/v2.0.0
