+# Task 06G4E4TYBR6P66BXX82F1NQNPC
+
+Add a --version flag to the healthcheck script
+
+- Project: test-e2e
+- Source: gitea:test-e2e/6
+- Priority: 0
+
+## Instructions
+
+scripts/orchestra_e2e_healthcheck.sh already handles --help. Add a --version flag alongside it that prints the single line 1.0.0 and exits 0. Leave the default behaviour and the --help output unchanged.
+
+## Completion
+
+Run the configured quality gate. When the task is ready for the worker to verify and deliver, create `.orchestra/done`. Do not write a prose completion report.
+
+This file is immutable for the lifetime of the task (§6.2) — its hash is
+carried in every handoff and re-verified on every pickup. Do not edit it.
