v0.2.1 - Auto-configure ~/.claude.json

Fixes

• Auto-update ~/.claude.json: Bootstrap now automatically adds mcp-proxy entry
• Create missing config: Creates ~/.claude.json if it doesn't exist
• Config validation: Validates config.local.json before installation
• Placeholder warnings: Warns about example/placeholder values in config
• Server counting: Shows count of servers and source definitions

README Improvements

• Clearer Quick Start with numbered steps
• Minimal config example
• Key points for configuration

v0.2.0 - Bootstrap Workflow & Portable Config

New Features

• Source-based MCP server installation: Define source in config with type: git or type: local, bootstrap handles clone/copy and updates
• Portable config with variables: Use ${MCP_SERVERS_DIR}, ${MCP_PROXY_DIR}, ${HOME} - expanded at deploy time
• Simple mode default: ./scripts/bootstrap.sh now skips secrets infrastructure (most users)
• Secure mode opt-in: ./scripts/bootstrap.sh --secure for OpenBao/Bitwarden integration
• envFile support: Simple mode users can specify .env file paths per server
• Smart venv rebuilds: Hash-based detection - only rebuild when deps change
• Git pull updates: Git-sourced servers update via git pull on each bootstrap run

Fixes

• Atomic binary replacement prevents "Text file busy" errors
• Stale .new files cleaned up automatically
• Dynamic step numbering based on mode (1/2 vs 1/4)
