Problem/Motivation

See 🐛 libraries.yml version properties depend upon drupal core Needs work and #2205027: VERSION in library declarations does not work for contributed/custom modules →

Basically a lot of contrib is using VERSION as the version in their info files. This is wrong, since this is the Drupal core version, and means that files might not get cache busted when they change, if Drupal core's version doesn't change.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

While we wait for core to fix the problem, or contrib to remove the VERSION from library definitions we could alter the libraries for contrib projects to fix them up.

    This needs a review.

    By default, it's going to try to add the module/theme version to the core version where VERSION is being used, but it can also add the deployment identifier and hash the whole lot, in case we want that.

    I've reviewed the code and I think I'm happy, though I couldn't actually reproduce the issue locally, with this fixing it, in the first place. What conditions & steps would demonstrate it? I tried with CSS/JS aggregation on & off; with & without a deployment_identifier (and changing it); with & without caching enabled in devtools' network tab.
