I don't know how to look for the information you requested. All I know how
to discern is through the flatpak info command, and it shows exactly what
you've quoted.

I searched github for the last eight characters of the strings and have not
found anything relevant EXCEPT the parent commit you mentioned.

HOWEVER I just noticed in

https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-flatpak

there's an update to modules/aqbanking.json from last week. It could easily
be that I have not checked flatpak updates since you made that change.
Could that one file explain it?  I don't use AQBanking so I don't even know
where I'd look in my installation unless I dug into the installed flatpak.

I just chose Help --> About

Version: 4.13
