chore: release v0.2.6

* feat: Add Ollama embedding support for local embedding models

* docs: Add clear documentation for Ollama embedding usage

* fix: remove leann_ask

* docs: remove ollama embedding extra instructions

* simplify MCP interface for Claude Code

- Remove unnecessary search parameters: search_mode, recompute_embeddings, file_types, min_score
- Remove leann_clear tool (not needed for Claude Code workflow)
- Streamline search to only use: query, index_name, top_k, complexity
- Keep core tools: leann_index, leann_search, leann_status, leann_list

* remove leann_index from MCP interface

Users should use CLI command 'leann build' to create indexes first.
MCP now only provides search functionality:
- leann_search: search existing indexes
- leann_status: check index health
- leann_list: list available indexes

This separates index creation (CLI) from search (Claude Code).

* improve CLI with auto project name and .gitignore support

- Make index_name optional, auto-use current directory name
- Read .gitignore patterns and respect them during indexing
- Add _read_gitignore_patterns() to parse .gitignore files
- Add _should_exclude_file() for pattern matching
- Apply exclusion patterns to both PDF and general file processing
- Show helpful messages about gitignore usage

Now users can simply run: leann build
And it will use project name + respect .gitignore patterns.
