v18.1.2

A documentation release. The brain format (version: 7), bf.yaml, the reply schemas and the search cache are unchanged. The packaged bf-setup skill only changes its Claude Code guidance: run bf skills DIR to refresh installed copies.

Documentation

• The README presents BF as a second brain on your own computer: agents opened in a brain start from your projects and evidence instead of a blank session. Four diagrams show the gather-to-learn loop, a blank session beside a brain session, how field mappings turn four tools' names into one knowledge graph and how a project is flagged for review when its linked evidence changes. New sections cover the questions a brain answers and the tools behind them, the sources one brain can gather, bf.yaml as the coordination hub, personal and team brains shared through Git and the trade-offs: local execution, provider setup and the agent harness's data terms. It also points agents to llms.txt.
• Claude Code 2.1.277+ loads a brain's AGENTS.md on its own, so the guides no longer ask for a CLAUDE.md holding @AGENTS.md; the agent guide keeps that import as the fallback for older versions, and an existing brain may keep its CLAUDE.md.

Changed

• The release scripts carry a .sh extension: scripts/push-and-tag.sh, scripts/release-notes.sh and scripts/verify-release-tag.sh.
