release: v0.8.0 — widen attune-rag pin + ship pending MCP work (#64)

attune-rag 0.2.0 shipped 2026-05-25 as the first SemVer-binding
cut — purely additive (new measure_corpus module + alias-file
helpers; no breaking API changes). The current core pin caps at
<0.2, silently locking fresh installs to attune-rag 0.1.23 even
when 0.2.x is available.

Widen the cap to <0.3 to unblock attune-rag 0.2.x installs.

The cap widen is the trigger for promoting the pending
[Unreleased] content to a real release. That content has been
queued on `main` since v0.7.1 (2026-05-22):

  - MCP server Phases 1-5 (PRs #49-#56) — new attune-gui-mcp
    console script with 6 tools (5 read-mostly + gui_set_spec_status
    write); 30+ tests across test_mcp_tools.py and
    test_mcp_integration.py
  - **Status:** parser fix (PR #57)
  - Living-docs regen automation Phase 1 (PRs #60-#63)
  - Home interpreter snapshot (PR #59)
  - Stacked-rebase README note (PR #58)

Bumped 0.7.1 → 0.8.0 (minor) for the new MCP tool surface.

Local smoke (python 3.10, fresh venv):
  pip install -e .[dev]
  → attune-gui 0.8.0, attune-rag 0.2.0
  545/545 sidecar tests pass (1 playwright skip, unrelated).

+
+Bundles the MCP server work (Phases 1–5, completed across PRs #49–#56) with the spec-status parser fix (PR #57), the living-docs regen automation Phase 1 (PRs #60, #61, #62, #63), the home interpreter snapshot improvement (PR #59), the stacked-rebase README note (PR #58), and a routine `attune-rag` cap widen to admit the freshly-released 0.2.0. Triggered by the cap widen — the rest had been queued on `main` waiting for a release.

+### Changed
+
+- **Widen `attune-rag` core pin: `>=0.1.22,<0.2` →
+  `>=0.1.22,<0.3`.** Unblocks fresh installs of `attune-gui`
+  alongside [attune-rag 0.2.0](https://pypi.org/project/attune-rag/0.2.0/)
+  (released 2026-05-25 as the first SemVer-binding cut — purely
+  additive: new `attune_rag.measure_corpus` public module + new
+  `load_aliases_from_file` / `DirectoryCorpus(extra_aliases_file=...)`).
+  None of the `attune_rag` surfaces consumed by `attune_gui`
+  (`RagPipeline`, `DirectoryCorpus`, `QueryExpander`,
+  `attune_rag.editor.*`) changed across 0.1.x → 0.2.0, so this
+  is a pin widen only with no code changes. Cap raised one minor
+  rather than open-ended so the next breaking attune-rag bump
+  still requires explicit re-validation.

 ### Fixed
 
 - **`**Status:**` (colon-inside-asterisks) format now parses
