v1.4.0: Targeted Fix Environment & Known Breakages

✨ What's New

PyPilot for VS Code 1.4.0 runs engine 1.4.0, where Fix environment fixes what is actually wrong instead of rebuilding the environment for every problem.

📖 New guide: What doctor --fix fixes

🎯 Fix environment, targeted

• Each problem gets its own fix: a uv sync for a missing or drifted package, uv lock for a stale lock, a reinstall of only the half-installed package, a repair of a damaged venv on the Python it had, or a one-line edit of a requirement.
• A healthy project is left alone. The Python moves only when a dependency forces it, the notification says which one, and the choice is saved to .python-version.
• Every file PyPilot edits is named, and an edit that leaves the project unresolvable is rolled back.

📚 Problems it now explains

• Unsatisfiable pins, typos ("did you mean") and versions that do not exist, with a fix checked before anything changes.
• Known breakages that metadata does not show: numpy 2 with old compiled packages, uncapped dependencies that later removed an API (werkzeug and flask, markupsafe and jinja2, setuptools 82 and pkg_resources), shadowing packages such as jwt and PyJWT, and yanked pins.
• Removed stdlib modules and removed APIs used in your code (distutils, np.float, collections.Mapping, SQLAlchemy 2 engine.execute), by file and line with the replacement.
• pixi, conda environment.yml and Poetry projects are fixed with their own tools.

🔐 Engine

• Pins engine v1.4.0, verified by SHA-256 as before.
