Full changelog

Closes issue #12. Three user-facing failure modes fixed across two reporters (poeylizn on DeepSeek-via-OpenAI-compat, as8ASd3 on Ollama with no PENTEST_AI_LLM_PROVIDER).

Headline: ptai start now produces findings on a vulnerable target regardless of which LLM you have, and always exits cleanly.

Live-verified end-to-end with Ollama qwen2.5-coder:7b against the local honeypot: 63 findings (13 critical, 6 high) emerged via the safety-net escalation path, clean exit in 193 s.

What's in 0.17.1 vs 0.17.0: 0.17.1 is the same production code as 0.17.0 plus a CI test fix (0.17.0's new matrix test had two assertion bugs that blocked PyPI publish). The actual user-facing fixes are unchanged.

See CHANGELOG.md for the full surface.

Install / upgrade:

```
pipx upgrade ptai

or

pip install --upgrade ptai
```

If ptai start still surprises you, run ptai doctor for a single-command diagnostic of your provider config.
