python-v0.8.0-rc.1

qgis-sdk 0.8.0-rc.1 (rehearsal)

Prerelease rehearsal of the 0.8.0 train, on the stamp pull request's merge
commit. NOT a stable release: PyPI and conda publish steps are skipped by
the workflow for a prerelease, and nothing here is a 1.0.0 promise.

Contents since 0.7.0 (63 commits): the explicitly hosted loopback plugin
HTTP API for allowlisted actions and SSE streams with the tools-side
client and CLI; qgis-sdk mcp on the official MCP package behind the new
[mcp] extra, developer commands only; UI snapshots (dev.ui.*, ui_snapshot);
the qgis_sdk.console ConsoleSession and PluginHandle; declared externals
with a startup probe and pure-Python vendoring; processing destination
safety. Runtime, tools and the kit all move to 0.8.0 and the tools'
runtime range becomes >=0.8.0,<0.9. The runtime still declares no
dependencies.

Gate: doc-14 '0.8.0 release gate (2026-10-29)' and 'Stamp and artifacts'.
