Global search referenced Client.company, which is not a column on Client, so client matches failed at runtime. Legacy and v1 search, plus search_clients(), now filter on name, email, description, and contact_person; result descriptions use the same fields. Legacy /api/search returns count: 0 for queries shorter than two characters so responses stay consistent.
OpenAPI info.version is taken from get_version_from_setup(), with a config fallback when the resolved version is unknown. get_version_from_setup() also honors TIMETRACKER_VERSION and APP_VERSION for CI and container builds.
Client.__init__ accepts custom_fields. ClientService no longer passes status= into Client(), which the initializer does not support.
Tests add HTTP route contract checks and OpenAPI version alignment, fix subcontractor search fixtures (Client/Task construction and v1 client fixture naming), and update related API integration tests.
