release: v0.26.0 — VS Code extension, zoom architecture view, web build fix (#661)

* fix(deps): restore the emoji-regex-xs lockfile entry pruned by the CVE sweep

The dependency CVE sweep (#645) regenerated package-lock.json and dropped the
resolved node_modules/emoji-regex-xs entry while leaving shiki 1.29.2 ->
oniguruma-to-es 2.3.0 (which requires emoji-regex-xs ^1.0.0) in the tree. The
result: npm ci produced a tree where oniguruma-to-es could not resolve
emoji-regex-xs, and the Next.js standalone build failed collecting page data
for the Files route with "Cannot find package 'emoji-regex-xs'".

Restore the single emoji-regex-xs@1.0.0 resolved entry (verbatim from the
v0.25.0 lockfile npm itself generated). This is the minimal fix: it touches
nothing else in the tree, so the vitest-3 transitives packages/vscode relies
on (loupe and friends) stay in place. Verified with a clean npm ci followed by
the web build and the vscode webview tests.

Aligning packages/web up to shiki 4 (matching packages/ui) is the cleaner
long-term fix, but it destabilizes this lockfile under npm's resolver and is
better done as a focused follow-up.

* release: v0.26.0

Bump the Python package (pyproject, cli/core/server, uv.lock self-entry) and
the Claude Code plugin (marketplace + plugin manifests) to 0.26.0, with the
0.26.0 changelog and its bundled copy.

Also bump the VS Code extension to 0.2.0 and raise MIN_SERVER_VERSION to
0.26.0: its editor signals rely on server contracts (machine-readable
interfaces, live range risk, dead-code line spans) that land in this release.
The extension is the headline of this cycle.

+## [0.26.0] — 2026-07-03
+
+### Added
+- **VS Code extension.** Repowise now runs inside your editor. The extension manages the local server lifecycle, walks you through install to first insight, and registers the Repowise MCP tools for agent mode (#643, #644). Low-health files surface as diagnostics with gutter heat, and editor-native signals include live range risk scoring, a refactoring lens, dead-code line spans, and inline docs (#642, #644). A sidebar Home dashboard shows index freshness, a theme switcher, and consolidated trees (#650), and the shared visualization panels (graph, C4, health, blast radius) render directly in webviews (#649, #653). A settings panel configures editor signals and the server connection (#654), and the latest pass adds panel navigation and quieter defaults for an editor-native feel (#660). Install it from the VS Code Marketplace or Open VSX.
+- **Continuous-zoom architecture view.** The server builds a zoom-map artifact that drives a smooth, execution-aware zoom across the architecture graph. (#626)
+- **Configurable Ollama embedding timeout.** The Ollama embedding request timeout can now be set via environment variable for slower local models. (#656)
+
+### Changed
+- **Sharper `get_answer` grounding.** The `get_answer` MCP tool gained a frame-grounding gate and anchors rationale to in-code comments, with retrieval tuning across `get_answer` and `get_context`. (#621, #622)
+- **Faster decision embeddings.** Decision embeddings are batched during persistence and reindex, cutting indexing work on decision-heavy repos. (#641)
+
+### Fixed
+- **Config languages no longer inflate language usage.** Configuration-file languages are hidden from the language-usage breakdown. (#623)
+- **Index freshness stamp stays current on no-op syncs.** An `update` that finds no changes still refreshes the freshness stamp, so agents don't distrust a current index. (#652)
+
+### Dependencies
+- Cleared high and critical CVEs across the npm and Python dependency trees. (#645)
