chore: release v2.6.1

[cmeans-claude-dev]

Patch release. Single `### Fixed` entry under Unreleased: the SVG clipboard round-trip on Windows + macOS that landed in #138 (closes #136).

What's in this release

Area	Change
_windows_read (clipboard.py)	New image/svg+xml branch via Clipboard::GetData('image/svg+xml') with [Console]::OutputEncoding = UTF8
_macos_read (clipboard.py)	New image/svg+xml branch reading public.svg-image UTI as UTF-8 NSData; _UTI_TO_MIME learns public.svg-image -> image/svg+xml
clipboard_paste auto-dispatch (server.py)	Image formats split into raster_formats (returns Image) and svg_formats (returns text in a ```svg fence); raster wins when both are present
Tests	8 new under # SVG round-trip read paths (#136); total 618

Per semver §6, this is a patch bump (Fixed-only). Project precedent: v2.5.1 was also Fixed-only and shipped as patch.

Diff summary

CHANGELOG.md   | 2 ++
pyproject.toml | 2 +-
server.json    | 4 ++--

The standard release-PR triad. Heading rename ## [Unreleased] -> ## [2.6.1] - 2026-05-07 plus a fresh empty ## [Unreleased] section above it.

Test plan

• CI passes (lint, typecheck, test ×3, integration-x11, codecov, version-sync, validate-server-json).
• git tag v2.6.1 && git push origin v2.6.1 after merge fires publish.yml.
• publish-pypi ships mcp-clipboard==2.6.1 to PyPI.
• publish-registry updates io.github.cmeans/mcp-clipboard to 2.6.1 with isLatest=true (steady-state since v2.5.1 first registered).
• github-release job (steady-state since v2.6.0 first firing) auto-creates the v2.6.1 GitHub Release page.
• Spot-check: pip index versions mcp-clipboard ⇒ 2.6.1; gh release view v2.6.1; curl 'https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers?search=mcp-clipboard' returns 2.6.1.

Local verification on this commit

QA review — release PR #139 (round 1)

Verdict: Zero findings. Recommending Ready for QA Signoff.

Bump correctness

The Unreleased CHANGELOG content being stamped under this release is a single ### Fixed entry — the SVG clipboard round-trip fix from #138 (closes #136). Per semver §6, "PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes". Fixed-only ⇒ patch bump (2.6.0 → 2.6.1) is exactly right.

Project precedent confirms:

Release	Bump	What landed	Convention
v2.5.0 (2026-05-05)	minor	Added + Changed + Fixed bundle (PRs #120/#121/#122)	minor when any Added
v2.5.1 (2026-05-05)	patch	Fixed-only (registry README token)	patch when Fixed-only
v2.6.0 (2026-05-07)	minor	Added (CLI flags, github-release job) + Changed (README) + Fixed (Windows UTF-8)	minor when any Added (after R1 correction in #135)
v2.6.1 (this PR)	patch	Fixed-only (#138 SVG round-trip)	patch when Fixed-only — matches v2.5.1 precedent

Diff scope check

Standard release-PR triad, exactly 5/3 across the three expected files:

File	Change
pyproject.toml:7	version = "2.6.0" → "2.6.1"
server.json:6 (top-level)	"version": "2.6.0" → "2.6.1"
server.json:15 (packages[0].version)	"version": "2.6.0" → "2.6.1"
CHANGELOG.md	Inserts ## [2.6.1] - 2026-05-07 heading below empty ## [Unreleased] shell

uv.lock correctly absent from diff (gitignored on this repo per .gitignore:17). No drift outside the release-bump triad.

CHANGELOG content

The ## [2.6.1] section is the SVG-fix Unreleased entry verbatim from #138. Reads end-to-end (root cause → three layered gaps → backend symmetry note for Linux). Critically, the entry does not mention CRLF — which is correct because #138's R4 CRLF cleanup was reverted in R6 (live regression on CD Windows). The release content matches what actually merged.

uv run python scripts/sync-server-json.py --check	in sync at 2.6.1
uv build --wheel	dist/mcp_clipboard-2.6.1-py3-none-any.whl builds cleanly
Em-dash sweep on the new ## [2.6.1] section	clean (git diff v2.6.0..HEAD -- CHANGELOG.md | grep '^+' | grep '—' returns no matches in the new section)
American-English spelling on the new section	clean
CI on 8b804dc	11 actual checks all green (codecov/patch, integration-x11, lint, on-push, qa-approved, test ×3, typecheck, validate-server-json, version-sync); 3 conditional jobs skipping (changelog, on-label, on-unlabel) — normal

Test-plan checkboxes

• CI passes on this PR — green on 8b804dc. Ticked.
• git tag v2.6.1 && git push origin v2.6.1 after merge — Dev's job post-merge.
• publish-pypi ships mcp-clipboard==2.6.1 — gated on tag push. Leaving unticked.
• publish-registry updates io.github.cmeans/mcp-clipboard to 2.6.1 — gated on tag push. Steady-state since v2.5.1; should be uneventful.
• github-release auto-creates v2.6.1 GitHub Release — gated on tag push. Steady-state since v2.6.0's first firing.
• Spot-check via pip index versions, gh release view, registry curl — post-tag-push verification.

Round 1 verdict

Clean release-bump shape. Bump level matches content (Fixed-only → patch). All three release files in lockstep at 2.6.1. CHANGELOG content accurately reflects what actually merged from #138 (the SVG fix only, no CRLF since reverted in R6). CI green, all linters/typechecker green, sync gates green, wheel builds.

This is the simplest release PR in recent history — a single-PR aggregation with a clean revert-aware CHANGELOG. No findings.

Applying Ready for QA Signoff.
