2.42.6

2.42.6 — Targets Portainer 2.42.x

Added

• Claude Desktop one-click .mcpb bundles (#72). The server now ships as a
  self-contained PyInstaller binary bundle (no Python/uv/Node needed on the
  client), built per-platform (darwin-arm64, win32-x64, linux-x64) and
  attached to this release.
• Bundled hygiene guidance, served on demand via a get_guidance tool (#72).
  The full portainer-mcp-hygiene skill now ships with every install method
  (uvx, container, .mcpb) from the same SKILL.md, so it can't drift. A
  one-time-per-session gate requires get_guidance so the guide reliably lands
  in context rather than relying on the truncatable instructions field. A
  missing guide is now a hard startup failure.

Changed

• Hygiene skill guidance expanded (#71) to cover mutations and typed
  Kubernetes field shapes, and to report its own gaps (failing select
  examples, redaction/truncation mismatches, missing tools) as scrubbed,
  consent-gated issues against portainer/portainer-mcp.

Removed

• Manual hygiene-skill curl install instructions (README,
  docs/distribution/claude-desktop.md). The guide is now bundled and served
  via get_guidance, so the curl snippets were redundant and drift-prone.
