Vakyartha 8.18.0 — Topics

8.18.0 — 2026-10-21

• A synchronous channel reply waits for the turn's settlement and session
  handoff, so an immediate follow-up is not accidentally queued as steering
  for a completed run. The initial reply still arrives promptly when already
  queued work continues.

• Topics organise ongoing work under each Agent, with model-selected placement,
  human corrections, direct navigation, pinning and explicit archive/reopen.
  Automatic organisation can be turned off; Topics preserve the original
  conversation and do not change access, approvals or historical context rules.

• Doctor reports Topic record integrity, missing turn references and catalog
  indexing status through the shared CLI, terminal, web and Admin health report.

Topics currently organise turns within their source conversation; cross-conversation merging and background summaries remain follow-up work.

Assets contain the native macOS arm64 component binaries and integrity metadata. For the complete desktop installation with frontend resources, build from this tag with scripts/build.sh.

Validation: full workspace formatting, clippy, tests, records, versions, documentation paths and Rust dependency advisories passed. Release assembly rebuilt the frontend bundles and verified binary version/commit provenance.
