SHAFT 10.3.20260717

Auto-generated release notes are included below. Users upgrading from
SHAFT_ENGINE should read the
modular SHAFT upgrade guide.

SHAFT Pilot adds deterministic Capture, TestNG generation, Doctor diagnosis,
reviewed repair proposals, and MCP interoperability. AI is optional, disabled
by default, and direct OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or Ollama access requires
explicit enablement and consent. Microsoft/GitHub Copilot integrates through
MCP rather than a generic provider API-key adapter.

See the SHAFT Pilot guide
for installation, configuration, privacy, troubleshooting, and usage examples.
