Alan Wizemann cd5bb32a21 release: prep v2.7.0 — consolidated notes + in-app Sparkle release notes ...

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.
