Can you fix the merge conflicts? Also I'm not sure that the strategy of importing from the metadata file is going to work. It was tried when we rolled out #322 and we ended up backtracking on using the version number because the imports were complaining about importing something from outside the module or something. #251 i think was the issue created as a result of this problem |

we might need to find a way to resolve that metadata problem before this PR will be possible. I think the version number is somewhat more important to include in the user agent than the database connection args. |

- Moves get_user_agent() into collectoss/util/version.py using importlib.metadata to read the version, avoiding the metadata.py import-outside-module issue (chaoss#251/chaoss#322) - Falls back to 'unknown' if the package is not installed - Updates github_graphql_data_access.py to use new import path and resolves merge conflicts with upstream changes to that file Signed-off-by: Diptesh Roy <droy88333@gmail.com>

Description
Adds a
User-Agentheader to all outgoing GitHub API requests so GitHubcan identify traffic from CollectOSS tooling. This helps with bot
detection, allows GitHub staff to reach out if needed, and will benefit
future support for other forge instances (Forgejo etc.).
The User-Agent format is:
CollectOSS/1.0.0 (github:chaoss/collectoss; CHAOSS/Linux Foundation)A
get_user_agent()helper is added tometadata.pyso the versionnumber stays in sync with the project version automatically. Applied in:
github_data_access.py(REST API — primary path)github_graphql_data_access.py(GraphQL API)github_api_key_handler.py(key validation calls)github_paginator.py(deprecatedhit_apipath)This PR fixes #408
Notes for Reviewers
No logic changes — purely additive header injection. The
get_user_agent()helper in
metadata.pymakes the version easy to update in one place.Signed commits
