Release 0.4.18

The release PR, made by the steps in docs/development.md#releasing:

• Version: version is 0.4.18 in package.json and herdr-plugin.toml.
• Changelog: bun scripts/changelog-fold.ts 0.4.18 2026-10-26 moved the 6 changelog.d fragments into CHANGELOG.md, with PR links, and deleted them. The outside contributors are credited: feat(chat): read native Muse Code conversations #1706 @jpcarranza94, feat(chat): show a tool's pictures as small thumbnails on its work line #1952 @mattmarcin, fix(chat): read Copilot tool outputs at verified record offsets #1956 @YuuuXie.
• Release summaries: release-summaries.json has the 0.4.18 entry in en, ko, ja and zh, with the same lists in each: 1 new, 1 improved, 3 fixed. Every line is under the limit.
• Remote bundle: REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION goes from 36 to 37 in shared/machines.ts, because the remote bundle's inputs changed since remote-v36. Once this merges, remote-v37 is pushed on the merge commit before the Release run.

bun scripts/release-guards.ts reports: "Release 0.4.18: remote bundle, telemetry Worker and release metadata are in order." No telemetry Worker deploy is needed. bun run check fast passes locally.

The maintainer approved this release. CI runs on GitHub-hosted runners (CI_SELF_HOSTED_LABELS=ubuntu-24.04).

- Line 32: Update the CHANGELOG entries for PRs #1961, #1959, and #1963 to
include each PR author’s “by @login” credit alongside its PR link; use the
correct author handle for each entry.

Review comments at @shared/machines.ts:
- Line 8: Add a preflight step to the Release workflow that requires the remote
bundle release to be published before app release proceeds. Read the bundle
version from REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION, verify the corresponding remote-v tag points
to GITHUB_SHA, and require that the GitHub release includes manifest.json; fail
preflight if any check fails.
