CITATION.cff's version/date are three releases behind pyproject.toml #435

Description

@yakew7

Where: CITATION.cff's version/date-released fields vs pyproject.toml and CHANGELOG.md.

The gap: CITATION.cff still says version: "2.0.0" / date-released: "2026-07-23", three shipped releases behind.

Repro:

$ grep -n "^version:\|^date-released:" CITATION.cff
27:version: "2.0.0"
28:date-released: "2026-07-23"

$ grep -n "^version" pyproject.toml
7:version = "2.2.0"

$ grep -n "^## \[" CHANGELOG.md | head -3
20:## [2.2.0] - 02 Sep 2026
45:## [2.1.1] - 02 Sep 2026
83:## [2.1.0] - 30 Aug 2026

Why it matters: CITATION.cff is what GitHub surfaces via its "Cite this repository" button - it exists specifically to identify what a citer is actually citing. Stuck at 2.0.0 despite three real releases since (2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.2.0), including the entire MCP server and Phase 2 tool set that shipped after that version.

Suggested fix: bump version to 2.2.0 and date-released to 2026-09-02 (the 2.2.0 release date per CHANGELOG.md), and consider a CI check (in the spirit of scripts/check_explainer_count.py) asserting CITATION.cff's version matches pyproject.toml so this can't silently drift again.
