chore(release): v1.6.1

Fix 6 bugs discovered during MCP tool usage:

1. syncToCanvas error handling: Distinguish network errors (return null)
   from API errors (re-throw with actual message). Fixes misleading
   "HTTP server unavailable" on batch_create_elements.

2. USER_PREFS fallbacks: create_element and batch_create_elements now
   apply fontFamily/roughness/fontSize/strokeWidth from preferences.json
   when not explicitly provided by the caller.

3. Hello handshake: Frontend sends `hello` on tenant_switched and handles
   `hello_ack`. Server resolves projectId from tenantId when absent.
   Fixes WS connections being registered under wrong scope.

4. Serialized broadcasts: Add serializedBroadcastWithAck() that queues
   broadcasts per tenant/project scope. Prevents race condition where
   parallel MCP create_element calls produce overlapping WS messages
   that clobber each other in the frontend.

5. Viewport screenshot: get_canvas_screenshot passes captureViewport=true,
   frontend captures DOM canvas via toDataURL() instead of exportToBlob()
   which always rendered the full scene bounding box.

6. Viewport animate:false: set_viewport uses animate:false for instant
   positioning, preventing mid-animation screenshot captures.

Tests: 14 new tests (8 API, 6 WS) + 9 E2E specs covering all fixes.
