VERSION and registerBootstrap

The library’s version string. Useful for logging, diagnostics and self-identification. It always equals the version field of the published package.

Installs the host-called global (window.osDashletInit) and attaches the single buffering message listener on win — idempotent. This is the function the index module calls automatically at import time in browsers (the import side effect); it is also exported for tests and for hosts where you want to drive registration explicitly.

Registration happens at module evaluation time — synchronously, before any load event and before any framework code runs. Before the dashlet is configured, every host call is buffered (bounded, in arrival order) instead of dropped, and flushed at configuration time — so a host that speaks before installDashletGlobal runs is never lost. See installDashletGlobal for the configuration call itself, and the overview for where both sit in the public surface.
