release: FunClip 2.1.1

[LauraGPT]

Summary

• bump the stable FunClip snapshot from 2.1.0 to 2.1.1;
• publish bilingual upgrade guidance for the Gradio 4 / Starlette compatibility fix and explicit container sharing boundary;
• include case-insensitive clipping and MiniMax M2.7 routing in the release highlights;
• advance the release contract to the new version and asset names.

User impact

FunClip 2.1.1 gives fresh installations a stable source archive that resolves the Gradio index HTTP 500 fixed in #200. Existing users get an explicit pip install -U -r requirements.txt upgrade path. Container users can bind with --listen without FunClip silently enabling a public Gradio tunnel.

Validation

• red-first release contract: 2 failed, 4 passed before the version and notes update;
• exact-head maintained suite: 67 passed, 1 skipped (the skip is the live TwelveLabs test requiring TWELVELABS_API_KEY);
• release contract: 6 passed;
• exact-head SSH signature and DCO verified;
• two independent exact-commit asset builds are byte-identical;
• tar and zip contain the same 55 tracked files, VERSION=2.1.1, starlette<1.0, and docs/releases/v2.1.1.md;
• SHA256SUMS verifies both archives:
  • FunClip-2.1.1.tar.gz: acda7b099af302d685552a228592dec3de614d9c5e83901cf6a16f8d3dc73762
  • FunClip-2.1.1.zip: 037a1dba7bdc92cb7bb86b3bec6be09b2a2dc2f75277edb4ece4708dcc32341d
• Python compilation and git diff --check pass.

Release procedure

After this PR merges and the main-branch test is green, rebuild from the exact merge commit, create a signed v2.1.1 tag, and let the existing release workflow publish the tar.gz, zip, and SHA-256 manifest. Public assets will be downloaded and independently verified before the release is considered complete.

The merge mutation returned GitHub request ID 3DDF:9FB5B:1D9B96:1EAA0B:6A7093EC after writing the merge commit but before updating the PR record. The authoritative main branch now contains GitHub-verified merge commit 6eab789b3920afecaa08280cd824049482c354df with exact parents 109f44f and c7c9e48; the PR head is therefore already an ancestor of main. Closing the stale PR state manually avoids creating a duplicate no-op merge commit.
