✨ What's in this Release

• 15 Decoders & 10 Code Families: Full support for surface codes, qLDPC (bicycle / bivariate bicycle), heavy-hex, color codes, and hypergraph products, fully wired to the bundled qector-decoder-v3 1.0.0 backend.
• 82-Tool MCP Server: stdio JSON-RPC 2.0 server for programmatic and AI agent interaction with per-tool 60-second timeouts, busy guards, and 1 MB result limits.
• Offline Backend Bundling: Ships with the platform-specific qector_decoder_v3-1.0.0 wheel pre-packaged inside the executable. Automatically activated into a per-user managed site on first boot; purges outdated managed decoders from older releases automatically.
• Full CLI Infrastructure: Adds 12 CLI subcommands (compare, batch, stream, train, export, import, matrix, serve, doctor, completions) with shell auto-completion support (Bash, Zsh, PowerShell).
• Self-Diagnostics & Auto-Debug: Environment, decoder, and hardware self-tests with resilient multi-decoder fallback, verifying $H \cdot c \equiv s \pmod{2}$ at every step with full attempt tracing.
• Security Hardening: License keys encrypted at rest using machine-derived Fernet keys; export path traversal protection via path sanitization.
• Hardware Dashboard: Auto-detects CUDA/OpenCL/CPU capability; honest OpenCL status reporting with a working QECTOR_DISABLE_OPENCL=1 probe-skip escape hatch.
• Data Export Integrity: All documentation exports (.md, .html, .json, .tex, .pdf, .svg), benchmark reports, and deposit sidecars (.zenodo.json, CITATION.cff) include SHA-256 sidecar manifests.
• Distance Slider: Extended distance range supporting $d=3$ to $d=63$ (matching the Enterprise tier limit).
