`fish --version` showed 3.0.0, after brew update but without closing terminal, but `ls && echo finally` still didn't work. However, closing and re-opening terminal, it now works.

`fish --version` starts a new fish that prints _its_ version.

You were still running the old version, and `echo $version` would have told you.

Because you still run the old version as your shell, from which you run the new version merely to have it print its version.
