I'm not aware of any bootstrap flags, but you can inspect the resolved 
cookbooks and log them yourself. After recently fixing some version conflict 
issues, I'm planning on writing a cookbook that compares the resolved version 
of every cookbook in the runlist with the most recent version allowed in the 
environment, and notifies if they're not the same.

Subject: [chef] Possible to log or export cookbook versions or refs

Hello,
I am troubleshooting an issue that involved the versions of cookbooks pinned 
by
our roles vs the cookbook versions uploaded by berks upload.  We have our own
cookbooks which set attributes etc and then call community cookbooks, then
those call other cookbooks.  It would be tremendously helpful to see the
version (or gitref) of the compiled cookbook list: is there any way to do 
this?

For example
ec2-54-80-93-100.compute-1.amazonaws.com resolving cookbooks for run list:
["cook_base", "cook_common", "cook_common::users_sigma_stream",
"cook_logstash"]

Is it possible to pass a bootstrap option that will append the version of each
cookbook?

In this particular case I was able to track down the pinned version that 
needed
to be bumped but it took awhile and I was hoping for the future that I could
log or display these versions at bootstrap.

Thank you,
