hotato 1.18.0

[1.18.0] - 2026-07-29

Changed

• Every artifact hotato writes now uses one palette. The report, the
  shareable card, the failure record, the counterexample card, the gauntlet
  badge, the load-test page, the suite report and the served console each
  carried their own colours -- five separate copies of a warm charcoal theme,
  plus one renderer that shipped browser defaults. They all read
  src/hotato/theme.py now: neutral surfaces, ember for the brand, and colour
  that carries meaning (green passed, red failed, yellow open, blue
  informational). Every text pair in the new palette clears 4.5:1, which two
  did not before: the gauntlet badge's score ink sat at 2.73:1 and the
  counterexample fingerprint at 4.17:1.
• The copy answers to a first read. Every user-facing line in the README,
  the docs, llms.txt and the strings the CLI prints was read cold by someone
  who had never seen hotato, and rewritten where it assumed context the reader
  does not have: terms used before they were defined, claims that described a
  mechanism instead of what the reader gets, and a stability statement that
  existed in three different wordings across the CLI, the README and the site.
  The structure is unchanged -- no page gained a line.
• The banner, the social preview, the README screenshot and the committed
  sample reports were re-rendered from their own generators, so what a visitor
  sees on GitHub and PyPI is what the tool produces today. render_banner.py
  now builds the social card as well, and render_funnel.py writes the .png
  its own README always said it did.

Fixed

• docs/SELF-HOST.md no longer compares the self-hosted store to a managed
  cloud that does not exist. It states the property directly, and its test now
  asserts that property rather than one phrase.
