Subject: [PATCH] version: stop using the_repository

From: René Scharfe <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2026 18:01:24 +0100

Actually it has never been used in version.c since cf7ee481902 (agent:
advertise OS name via agent capability, 2025-02-15) added the dependency
macro.  Remove it, along with the also unused struct declaration.
