Get latest provider version for a specific environment

[canny]

Currently there is no way using the new environments approach to get/describe version within a specific environment.
As a workaround I have had to use legacy tagging and create a version tag immediately after we record-deployment into an environment. I can then use this version tag when I describe version with the specific tag passed in.
Seems there is a gap here between what you can do with legacy tags and the new environments approach.
My reason for needing to do this is because I reached pact nirvana for one service, and now when I add new services, pact can-i-deploy fails on the new services as they are not fully setup with recording deployments/releases etc yet, so I was advised in Pact Foundation slack workspace as a temporary workaround to instead run can-i-deploy against specific pacticipants and versions until the other newly added services are ready too.

For example, with a version tag I can do

pact-broker describe-version -a ProviderService -l $TAG -o json | jq '.number'

But there is no similar approach using environments approach instead of legacy tags.
