The Jenkins special agent now specifies the HTTP "User-Agent" header as User-Agent: checkmk-special-jenkins-{version}. The version variable here denotes which version of Checkmk is running.

This allows administrators to easily identify the agent in their access logs or network monitoring tools, simplifying the monitoring and troubleshooting of these inbound requests.

No user configuration is required for this change.
