LGTM — straightforward version bump and changelog roll-up.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR prepares the 2.7.8 patch release. It bumps the version in pyproject.toml (2.7.7 → 2.7.8) and the matching entry in uv.lock, and moves the code-complete items from the Upcoming section of CHANGES.md into a dated Current 2.7.8 section (Node 24 CI bump from #318 and the all_editions de-duplication from #317). No source code changes.

Security risks

None. Changes are limited to release metadata and changelog text; no auth, crypto, permissions, or input-handling code is touched.

Level of scrutiny

Very low. This is a mechanical release-prep PR of the same shape as every prior version bump — the actual behavior changes were reviewed and merged as #317 and #318 separately.

Other factors

The version numbers are consistent across pyproject.toml and uv.lock, the changelog section header restructure looks correct (the ## Current marker moves up above the new 2.7.8 block, with a fresh empty Upcoming stub on top), and the described contents match the two included PRs.
