+Task Record:
+
+Date: 2026-04-26
+Related Module: config/version
+Change Type: Config
+
+Background
+
+A new release tag `v1.7.2.8` is required. The embedded version source still pointed to `v1.7.2.7`, which would cause runtime version output to mismatch the release tag.
+
+Changes
+
+Updated `config/version` from `v1.7.2.7` to `v1.7.2.8`.
+Added this task tracking record for the version bump and release consistency.
+
+Impact
+
+Affected files: `config/version`.
+No API, database, runtime logic, or compatibility behavior changes.
+Version display and release tag are aligned.
+
+Verification
+
+Check: inspected `config/version` content after update.
+Result: shows `v1.7.2.8`.
+
+Risks And Follow-Up
+
+Low risk. Follow-up is to push commit and `v1.7.2.8` tag to remote repository.
