v2.44.0 — 10 new service-autopilots (16 verticals)

Research-backed US-market expansion beyond the original 6. Each new vertical pairs a large displaceable-labor pool with a legally-required named human who signs the risky call — the shape the v2.43.0 safety engine is built for. All sixteen ship green on --validate and were verified with live flow runs.

New: prior-auth ($35–56B) · aml ($61B) · soc ($4–6B) · insurance ($36–38B) · mortgage ($40B+) · title ($16.2B) · credentialing · collections ($13.5–16B) · freight ($19–125B) · cro ($20–28B). Each escalates the liability-bearing call to a named human (medical director, BSA Officer, SOC analyst, underwriter, DE underwriter, title officer, credentialing committee, attorney, licensed broker, PI).

• 33 new connectors (65 total), reusing live adapters (sanctions-screen, e-signature, ehr-fhir, payment-rails) so several new verticals run live on day one.
• 7 new compliance reviewers; insurance/mortgage/cro reuse existing reviewers.
• Every flow carries the safety invariant — irreversible step behind a human gate + accountable owner.
• 250 lib tests; live runs of all 16 pause cleanly at their human gate.
