solstone 1.0.18

[1.0.18] - 2026-07-28

Added

• sol link join and sol link serve are now native commands, like sol and solstone before them. same commands, same pairing, and no python on any path they own.

Changed

• journal link is gone. listing paired devices, checking a device's status, unpairing one, and seeing what's authorized now live in the network app in your journal, with no command-line equivalent. anything built on journal link needs the network app instead.
• the base install is thinner. pip install solstone no longer brings along the compiled cryptography and websocket libraries only the journal needs; they install with solstone-journal and solstone-journal-cuda, so a journal install is unchanged and pairing works the same way. anything that relied on those libraries being present in a base install needs a journal package now.

Fixed

• installing the Apple Silicon solstone-core wheel no longer leaves its signing facts as a stray file in site-packages. the signing evidence stays in the release rail instead of the installed package.
• sol thinks through your days more reliably. a run through a local model, confidential processing, or an endpoint you bring could be refused for being too long: the length sol measured before sending came out under what the model itself counted, so sol now leaves room for the difference. a run could also stall on sol retrying a command in a form your journal doesn't accept; sol now gets the working form back instead.
• the voice evidence in your journal stays with the voice it came from. when your journal grouped a conversation's voices again and came out with a different number of them, statements could shift onto a different voice, either one it was still learning or a person you had already named. a voice now carries the statements it was built from, so this can no longer happen. entries from before this release that carry none are skipped rather than guessed at, and a maintenance pass recovers the ones it can.
• a day's record of sol's thinking is no longer cleared before its time. those records were aged by the date in their filename while the runs inside them could be from the last day, so a recent one could be removed early. a record is now kept unless everything in it is genuinely past the cutoff, and one that can't be read is kept rather than discarded.
• the apps in your journal read and behave better. faint text in the health logs, in empty-state messages, and on the body app's main button now has enough contrast to read; the charts in stats no longer overlap their own labels or push the page sideways on a phone; and tokens shows the day you're looking at, where an earlier day used to show today's numbers. Tab stays inside an open dialog instead of jumping out to the browser, the network app's pair dialog closes when you click outside it, and closing a dialog no longer leaves part of the page behind it unresponsive.
