I feel adding a separated Finch version block makes the output format of "finch version" too special. From Finch users' perspective, Finch itself is the client itself so Finch version is just the client version. Nerdctl can be added as part of Client dependency.

I don't see a strong reason adding virtualization layer dependency version, and not adding virtualization layer seems to make the version output easier to be consistent across all the platforms. Maybe we can exclude virtualization layer dependency version for now. We can add it later if people come up with a good justification.

I agree that it's no big deal to add the Lima version on its own. But following that line of reasoning, why shouldn't we also add the QEMU version, the Fedora version, etc?

In my opinion, it'd be better to keep the output of this command shorter to make it easier to parse at a glance. In order to do that, we'd need to draw the line somewhere, and I think this line makes the most sense.

It might be helpful in some scenarios , for example, issue investigation or any unsupported scenarios.

I believe the Lima version should map 1:1 with a Finch version, so we should be able to determine the Lima version from the Finch version when we're investigating.

should we also add lima version in the Client ?

Yeah, I think the nerdctl/buildkit/containerd/runc version is useful to our users because there are user-facing features that might be added in a new version of each of those. I’d argue that Lima features aren’t really user-facing for users of Finch because the Finch VM is mostly transparent.

What are cons of displaying lima version? It might be helpful in some scenarios , for example, issue investigation or any unsupported scenarios. Can't we just call the lima cmd and display the version?
