release v2.1.0

Drains the post-2.0 Unreleased backlog: keymap layer (T-117), keyboard
operability + panel-traversal arc (T-100, T-105, T-111, T-114), 95%
coverage gate (D-66), IPC argv-injection + size/count hardening
(T-104), high-contrast theme variants (D-69, T-118), PTY rewrite via
posix_spawn (T-96), CONTRIBUTING.md (T-109), and ~60 smaller items.
Closes T-121.
