v2.6.0 — NTO Registry

This release closes a credit gap on Supervised Student Project Output, one
of only three artefact types in the catalogue that still had no live
credit-capture pathway recorded against it. ORCID's Teaching and Supervision
work-type group — Supervised student publication and Other teaching or supervision output — lets a supervisor claim a student-authored thesis or
paper as a discretely identified work on their own ORCID record, which is
exactly the credit direction this artefact describes: the supervisor's
mentorship contribution, not the student's authorship. The mapping is now
recorded as active. Two artefact types remain with an empty
supporting-infrastructure list.

What's in this release

The registry's primary assets are three curated YAML data files:

Asset	Contents
data/nto_catalogue.yml	24 artefact types — explanations, activities, examples, and the infrastructure that captures credit for each
data/infrastructure_catalogue.yml	18 platforms — credit-capturing infrastructure, cross-walked onto CoARA OI4RRA tiers
data/reform_initiatives.yml	7 initiatives — assessment reform initiatives and their NTO relevance

Archived alongside them as supporting software: site/ (the Astro + React
site published at https://nto-registry.org) and scripts/validate_yaml.py
(schema and reference-integrity validator).

Changes in v2.6.0

Added

• ORCID is now active supporting infrastructure for Supervised Student
  Project Output in data/nto_catalogue.yml, closing one of the catalogue's
  three remaining empty supporting-infrastructure lists. ORCID's Teaching
  and Supervision work-type group contains Supervised student publication
  ("articles on research findings published jointly with or supervised by the
  thesis adviser") and Other teaching or supervision output, which together
  let a supervisor claim a student-authored output as a discretely-identified
  work on their own record — the exact bar 1.2.2 set for keeping an ORCID
  mapping, and the credit direction this artefact is about (the supervisor's
  contribution, not the student's authorship). This artefact carried an ORCID
  mapping at status: planned until 2.0.0 removed the planned value
  wholesale; it returns as active now that the live pathway is confirmed
  rather than aspirational. Resolves #3, reported by @EvaAlloza.
