 Нови файлове, които още не са в `.sln`, пак се виждат в Git Changes. При нужда ги добави като Solution Items или ползвай Open Folder.
 
+### Сравнение с production (`/healthz`)
+
+След Push + Coolify redeploy сравни `git` от [https://rip.inex-project.net/healthz](https://rip.inex-project.net/healthz) с локалното: Solution Explorer → **scripts** → десен клик `show-version.bat` → **Open Containing Folder** → двоен клик (прозорецът чака Enter). Префиксът (`0.3.0`) е във **VERSION** (Solution Explorer → **deploy**). Production вижда SHA едва след commit + push + redeploy.
+
 ### Качване на картинки на сървъра
 
 Локалният `help_processor.py` пише в `q:\RIP_Help_Source\Output\` (включително `images/` подпапка). За deploy:
