The following pull requests are included in release notes.

PR	Description	Reason
19297	New source/destination setup pages now open in the form view instead of the AI setup agent view.	connector.agentAssistedSetup is on in production with a true fallthrough, so every Cloud user creating a source or destination sees this changed default view.

The following pull requests were merged, but not included in release notes.

PR	Description	Reason
19304	Adds Claude worktrees to .gitignore.	Developer tooling only.
19299	Adds the User Groups settings tab, route, and API hooks to the webapp.	Gated behind the settings.scimProvisioning flag, which is off in production. Fails the public reachability gate.
19296	Adds internal group endpoints to the server API.	Internal (non-public) API surface, and group access requires the SCIM/Groups entitlement plus the platform.scim-provisioning-pilot flag, which is off in production.
19295	Gates customer tier monitors to prod.	Internal monitoring configuration.
19287	Shows a SCIM badge and provider-managed banner on the organization members page, and blocks membership edits when SCIM is enabled.	Only reachable when SCIM is enabled, which requires the platform.scim-provisioning-pilot flag; that flag is off in production, so no Cloud organization can reach this state today. Should be announced with the SCIM launch.
19293	Removes dead domains from synthetic uptime tests.	Internal monitoring.

Automated connector-asset and cloud-chart chore commits were filtered out before review.

Airbyte Maintainers (that's you!) can execute the following slash commands on your PR:

• 🛠️ Quick Fixes
  • /format-fix - Fixes most formatting issues.
  • /bump-version - Bumps connector versions, scraping changelog description from the PR title.
    • Bump types: patch (default), minor, major, major_rc, rc, promote.
    • The rc type is a smart default: applies minor_rc if stable, or bumps the RC number if already RC.
    • The promote type strips the RC suffix to finalize a release.
    • Example: /bump-version type=rc or /bump-version type=minor
  • /bump-progressive-rollout-version - Alias for /bump-version type=rc. Bumps with an RC suffix and enables progressive rollout.
• ❇️ AI Testing and Review (internal link: AI-SDLC Docs):
  • /ai-prove-fix - Runs prerelease readiness checks, including testing against customer connections.
  • /ai-canary-prerelease - Rolls out prerelease to 5-10 connections for canary testing.
  • /ai-review - AI-powered PR review for connector safety and quality gates.
• 📝 AI Documentation:
  • /ai-docs-review - AI-powered documentation review for PRs with connector changes.
  • /ai-create-docs-pr - Creates a documentation PR for connector changes, stacked on the current PR.
• 🚀 Connector Releases:
  • /publish-connectors-prerelease - Publishes pre-release connector builds (tagged as {version}-preview.{git-sha}) for all modified connectors in the PR.
  • /enable-autopilot-rollouts - Enables autopilot progressive rollouts for the modified connector(s) in the PR, remediating "autopilot rollouts not enabled for {connector-name}" auto-merge blockers. Sets defaultRolloutMode: autopilot and enableProgressiveRollout: true, preserving any existing autopilotConfig.
    • Optional args: connector=<CONNECTOR_NAME> (defaults to the modified connectors in the PR), strategy=fast|slow|default (defaults to fast).
    • Example: /enable-autopilot-rollouts or /enable-autopilot-rollouts connector=source-faker strategy=slow
• ☕️ JVM connectors:
  • /update-connector-cdk-version connector=<CONNECTOR_NAME> - Updates the specified connector to the latest CDK version.
