Rolls up everything since v2.6.5 (36 commits across remote-perf,
project wizard, dashboard widgets, OAuth resilience, ScarfMon
instrumentation, and the v2.7 skeleton-then-hydrate redesign) into
a single 2.7.0 release.
* releases/v2.7.0/RELEASE_NOTES.md — full consolidated notes,
reorganized around the throughline (slow-remote performance) with
five thematic sections: skeleton-then-hydrate loaders, SSH
cancellation, project wizard + Keychain cron secrets, dashboard
widgets, OAuth resilience, and ScarfMon. Replaces the previously-
drafted dashboard-only v2.7.0 stub and the separate v2.8 wizard
stub (both unreleased).
* releases/v2.8/ — deleted; folded into v2.7.
* README.md — "What's New in 2.6" → "What's New in 2.7" with the
five-section summary linking out to the full notes.
* tools/render-release-notes.py — stdlib-only Markdown → HTML
renderer covering the subset of GitHub-flavored markdown that
release notes use (## / ### headings, paragraphs, ul lists,
fenced code, inline code/bold/italic/links, hr). Output includes
a small <style> block tuned for Sparkle's update alert WebKit
view (light + dark variants via prefers-color-scheme).
* scripts/release.sh — render the active RELEASE_NOTES.md and
inject the result as <description><![CDATA[...]]></description>
on the appcast item. Sparkle's standard updater renders this in
the in-app update sheet so users see release-specific "what's
new" alongside the version number, not just the bare version.
Falls back to a "see GitHub release page" placeholder when the
notes file is missing.
User runs ./scripts/release.sh 2.7.0 to ship.
