 ## 3.0.0
 
+- Made the Windows workflow smoke harness use the repository virtual-environment runtime when available, avoiding false failures from a dependency-free system Python.
 - Made background execution restart-safe by recording PID creation times and deadlines, refusing to signal reused PIDs, recovering matching processes, and marking missing processes as lost; new pending batches now use collision-resistant UUIDs.
 - Made burst execution atomic at admission: every command is preflighted before launch, required sync credit is reserved under one lock, and unused reservations are returned after partial batches.
 - Fixed target extraction for dotted identifiers and direct `/dev/tcp`/`/dev/udp` redirections, and prevented network-capable local-looking commands from bypassing execution accounting.
