Conduit v0.17.0 release

Conduit v0.17.0 makes Conduit faster to build with and easier for an agent to drive: live config hot-reload while a pipeline runs, direct pipeline lifecycle control from the CLI, a repair command, and agent-legible docs served over MCP.

Key Highlights

• conduit run --dev — live hot-reload. Point Conduit at a pipelines directory and edit the YAML while it runs. A processor-only change is swapped into the running pipeline in place — no restart, no position replay, no downtime; any other change applies through a graceful drain-and-restart. Each edit reports how it landed (in_place or restart), so you always know whether an edit blipped the pipeline. It's the tight edit-save-see loop for building a pipeline.
• Pipeline lifecycle from the CLI. conduit pipelines start and conduit pipelines stop control a running instance's pipelines directly — no config editing, no server restart.
• conduit pipelines repair. Diagnoses common pipeline misconfigurations and synthesizes fixes. Available both as a CLI command and an MCP tool, so an agent can repair a pipeline end to end.
• Agent-native docs and MCP over HTTP. Conduit now generates llms.txt and llms-full.txt — a compact, accurate map of the product for agents, guarded against drift in CI — and the MCP server now speaks streamable HTTP in addition to stdio, so a remote agent can scaffold, validate, deploy, inspect, and repair pipelines against a live instance.
