Describe the problem
Hello, maybe this is not a bug, but I have noticed that the latest_version property of the platform property can be an empty string with the JSON output and is n/a with the text output.
Can somebody please explain to me the semantic meaning of the n/a version number when it is detected by the CLI or how the CLI detects it if it does not know the version? I have this bogus state in my local environment and would like to understand what causes it. Thank you!
Please suggest a better channel if it does not belong here.
I use the latest release, 1.1.0 CLI.
