Apex 0.1.8 is a full release. It carries the bare number everywhere — VERSION, tag v0.1.8 — and takes Latest. It graduates the 0.1.8e Edge line (Builds 1–10) with its content unchanged: same build stamp, same code — only the version's identity flipped from Edge to stable.
- Navi Mesh, Ring 1 (#78). Your machines pool inference: a stronger machine answers whole chat requests for a weaker one, and the reply says which machine wrote it. Pairing is by PNG card, carried by hand; borrowing is automatic for paired machines; lending is idle-only, inside caps you set, and armed only in person on the lender. Field-proven on a real two-machine pair.
- The pairing cards fly with the backup (#89); the text card is retired (#90). Mesh pairing cards join the GitHub backup essentials — your own card minted fresh, a picture per paired peer — so a lost machine re-pairs from its pictures instead of starting cold. Pairing is the picture only now; a text card saved from an earlier build can no longer be pasted.
- Updates never need a reboot (#91). The installer proves the old bridge stopped before replacing a single file — or aborts, naming the process that holds the port and the command that ends it. A manual install relaunches Apex and verifies the new build is answering; a dashboard left open across an update offers a one-click reload onto the new build's page.
- Lending, kept honest (#87, #88). Paired peers are health-checked in the background and the roster says what it found; lend caps and the idle-only override are settings on the lending machine; a borrowed reply's pills share one row — Mesh first — at every width.
