Subject: [PATCH] Bump base version to 2.6.2

Update version references for the 2.6.2 release: change the workflow dispatch input description and default to 2.6.2 in .github/workflows/docker-publish.yml, and update the _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION constant in web_server.py to 2.6.2 so release metadata and build/version strings reflect the new patch release.
