+## Summary
+Enables querying a remote Liqo cluster's version without establishing full peering, using only a minimal authentication token.
+
+## Motivation
+Before initiating peering, administrators need to check version compatibility between clusters. This feature allows version queries without full peering setup.
+
+## Changes
+
+### Version Query Infrastructure
+- Added `QueryRemoteVersion()` function for standalone version queries
+- Created `liqo-version` ConfigMap to expose local cluster version
+- Set up `liqo-version-reader` ServiceAccount with minimal RBAC permissions
+- Added token-based authentication for reading version ConfigMap
+
+### Helper Functions
+- `GetLocalVersion()`: Retrieve local cluster version from ConfigMap
+- `GetVersionReaderToken()`: Extract token from secret
+- `GetRemoteVersionWithToken()`: Query remote version with minimal auth
+
+### Supporting Features
+- Version resources auto-created at liqo-controller-manager startup
+- ForeignCluster auto-creation for tenant consumers (enables bidirectional detection)
+- Comprehensive unit tests (21 test specs)
+
+## Testing
+- ✅ All version package unit tests pass (17/17 specs)
+- ✅ Tenant controller tests added
+- ✅ `make generate` runs successfully
+- ✅ RBAC auto-generated correctly
+
+## Usage Example
+```bash
+# Extract token from consumer cluster
+kubectl get secret -n liqo liqo-version-reader-token \
+  -o jsonpath='{.data.token}' | base64 -d > token
+
+# Query version from any cluster
+kubectl --server=https://consumer-cluster:6443 \
+  --token="$(cat token)" \
+  --insecure-skip-tls-verify \
+  get configmap liqo-version -n liqo \
+  -o jsonpath='{.data.version}'
