About this release

This is an infrastructure-driven patch tag rather than a fully curated release. Since v0.18.0 shipped six days ago, main has accumulated roughly 667 commits across ~990 files (+89.5k/−10.4k lines), including installer/updater self-healing on Windows, dashboard and gateway fixes, WhatsApp dashboard pairing, MCP and provider fixes, and a large volume of stability work.

Full curated release notes for this window will ship with v0.19.0, which will document everything from v0.18.0 onward — highlights, feature areas, and complete contributor credits. Nothing in this window is skipped; it's documented in the next minor release.
