2.0.0

     theBFG is now an agentic AI testing tool: it gives your AI agent a set of testing tools it can call directly — discover and drive your suites, provision clusters, read back results — with built-in guardrails, and without the token overhead of a full MCP server.

     Multi-language test-runner arenas — bring your existing suites to the cluster and shard them across workers:
       * pytest arena — run Python / pytest suites headless and sharded.
       * Node / TS / JS arena — Karma / Jasmine and generic npm test scripts, headless and sharded.
       * .NET arena — dotnet test / vstest, clustered and sharded.

     Elastic cloud scale-out — auto-provision and auto-scale worker clusters on:
       * Docker
       * Azure VM Scale Sets (VMSS)
       * Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

     Distributed load testing:
       * JMeter scale-set support — drive large-scale load tests from your JMeter plans on auto-provisioned VMSS worker clusters.

     Performance analysis (beta):
       * Profile the system under test with PerfView — capture ETW traces during a run to surface hot paths.

     Also in this release:
       * Improved support / status portal with more features.
       * Improved test tagging for targeting and filtering across the cluster.
       * Numerous reliability improvements across arena startup, clustering, and result collection.

     Platform:
       * Migrated to .NET 10.
       * Ships as a standalone dotnet tool:  dotnet tool install -g thebfg
