build(release): prepare v1.6

Use Delphi 13 for project builds while pinning Linux64 to the Ubuntu 20.04 SDK so release binaries retain broad glibc compatibility. Make Win64 the implicit platform, update version resources and release documentation, and keep TASKS.md as local-only project state.

 ### Added

 - Changed `EncodingFixTool.sh` to launch the native Linux64 executable directly instead of invoking the Windows EXE through WSL interoperability.
 - Made Git execution, shell quoting, user config discovery, and path containment platform-correct; Linux avoids treating its UTF-8 default encoding as a legacy ANSI candidate while Windows retains active-code-page compatibility.
 - Updated the agent skill with the native Linux runtime layout, optional WSL `PATH` setup, and fresh-shell verification.
+- Changed release builds to Delphi 13 while pinning Linux64 to the Ubuntu 20.04 SDK, keeping the native binary compatible with glibc 2.17 and newer instead of requiring glibc 2.34.

 The launcher executes the Linux64 ELF binary directly. It does not start a Windows process and does not require WSL Windows interoperability or `wslpath`.
 
+The official Linux64 binary is built with Delphi 13 against the Ubuntu 20.04 SDK. It requires x86-64 Linux with glibc 2.17 or newer and is tested with Ubuntu 20.04-compatible libraries and Ubuntu 22.04. Building Linux64 from source requires the Delphi SDK profile `ubuntu20.04.sdk`; the project pins that profile to avoid accidentally raising the minimum Linux version.

+The shipped binary requires x86-64 Linux with glibc 2.17 or newer.
 
 Adding `bin` to `PATH` is optional. It is needed only to invoke `EncodingFixTool.sh` by name from any directory; repo-local `./bin/EncodingFixTool.sh` works without it. For Bash login shells, add the native Linux path to `~/.profile`:

 `PATH` is optional. Add the absolute native `bin` path to `~/.profile` for login shells and to `~/.bashrc` for direct non-login interactive Bash shells. Non-interactive automation should receive an explicit `PATH` or use the absolute/repo-local wrapper path. Verify configured shells with `command -v EncodingFixTool.sh` followed by `EncodingFixTool.sh help`.
