chore(release): v2.1.0 (#1230)

* chore(release): v2.1.0

* Address Claude review feedback

- Regenerate package-lock.json so its root and workspace version entries
  match the 2.1.0 bump in package.json; without this, CI's `npm ci` fails
  with an out-of-sync lockfile error.

* docs: update project status on homepage for v2.1

- Bump "GeoLibre 2.0 is a stable release" to 2.1 and add a Version 2.1
  summary sentence (Browser panel, route animation, object detection,
  map recording, photo viewer, Wikipedia cards, planetary basemaps,
  OpenAerialMap plugin) to the docs homepage Project status section.

 ## Project status
 
-GeoLibre 2.0 is a stable release. It includes the map workspace, the `.geolibre.json` project format with Save, Open, and Share, the plugin API, and the plugin marketplace for installing, updating, and removing external plugins. Data support spans browser vector import, DuckDB-WASM Spatial loading, the full Add Data surface (files, web services, cloud formats, 3D layers, and databases), and cloud integrations through the Planetary Computer and Earth Engine panels, the Overture Maps plugin, and the federal Web Services plugins. Processing covers the vector tools (Turf.js with an optional GeoPandas sidecar), the raster tools (rasterio sidecar with a client-side fallback), a Spectral Index toolbox, a Raster Georeferencer, a Spatial Statistics toolbox, network analysis (isochrones, service areas, OD cost matrices), the Conversion menu (GeoParquet, FlatGeobuf, PMTiles, COG), the Whitebox toolbox, AI Segmentation via SamGeo/SAM 3, and the SQL Workspace for DuckDB Spatial SQL (with PGlite PostGIS and Apache Sedona engines). The release also ships a docked Notebook panel that runs Jupyter beside the map (JupyterLite on the web, a desktop JupyterLab server), a Field Collection tool for capturing point, line, and polygon observations, real-time multi-user collaboration, a scroll-driven story map builder, a natural-language AI assistant and in-app Python Console, multi-provider geocoding, the Time Slider plugin, a Controls menu (Measure, Bookmark, Minimap, View State), a Print menu, Layout settings, runtime environment variables, diagnostics, embed-friendly URL parameters including the `maponly` mode, cross-platform installers (including a macOS Homebrew Cask and a Windows Microsoft Store listing), and Docker support for the browser app. GeoLibre also ships as a native **Android** app built from the same codebase via Tauri v2 mobile (see [Android](android.md)), with a responsive touch layout for phones, and offline improvements (a Download Offline Area tool plus service-worker caching of the CDN-loaded Pyodide and PGlite/PostGIS engines). Version 2.0 adds a CesiumJS 3D globe view for any map pane, planetary mapping (Mars and the Moon from OpenPlanetaryMap, plus Mercury, Venus, the Galilean moons, Titan, Pluto, and Charon from USGS Astrogeology reprojected to Web Mercator, with a per-project ellipsoid and a planet switcher in the Layers panel), symbology interchange that imports and exports vector styling as OGC SLD, QGIS QML, and Mapbox GL style JSON, editable source layers that write vector edits back to GeoPackage, GeoJSON, and PostGIS, a Weather menu with live cloud and precipitation radar overlays and a sun position simulation, and new Mapillary, Historical Imagery, and Elevation Profile plugins. See the [roadmap](roadmap.md) for the full release history and what comes next.

Version 2.1 adds a QGIS-style Browser panel (Data Source Manager) for browsing services, PostGIS databases, local files, and favorites from one place; route animation that sends a marker along a line layer with 3D track-follow camera controls and MP4 export; in-browser ONNX/YOLO object detection; map recording of the canvas or a drawn bounding box to video; a native-resolution geotagged photo viewer; Wikipedia knowledge cards; USGS basemaps for nine more celestial bodies; and a new OpenAerialMap imagery search plugin.
