+## [0.1.8] - 2026-03-11
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Hardened flagged-account reset recovery so intentional clears remain authoritative even when the primary flagged file survives an initial delete failure.
+- Removed the fresh-worktree `npm test` dependency on prebuilt `dist/` output by validating config precedence directly from source imports.
+- Tightened model-matrix smoke classification so unsupported account/runtime capabilities are reported as non-blocking skips instead of false release failures.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Codex CLI sync remains mirror-only, preserving canonical multi-auth storage as the single source of truth while still allowing mirror-file selection updates.
+- Release validation now includes broader merged-feature regression coverage spanning unified settings, flagged reset suppression, and mirror-only Codex CLI sync.
+
+### Added
+
+- Cross-feature regression coverage for merged release behavior in `test/release-main-prs-regression.test.ts`.

+# Release v0.1.8
+
+Release date: 2026-03-11
+Channel: `latest`
+
+## Highlights
+
+- Split persistence regression coverage into focused review units while keeping dashboard and unified-settings persistence behavior stable across shared-file writes.
+- Hardened flagged-account reset recovery so intentional clears suppress stale revival paths even when the primary flagged file survives an initial delete failure.
+- Kept Codex CLI sync mirror-only so local canonical storage stays authoritative while CLI mirror files still track active selection changes.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm i -g @openai/codex
+npm i -g codex-multi-auth
+```
+
+## Core Operations
+
+```bash
+codex auth login
+codex auth list
+codex auth status
+codex auth check
+codex auth forecast --live
+```
+
+## Validation Snapshot
+
+Release gate commands:
+
+- `npm ci`
+- `npm run clean:repo:check`
+- `npm run audit:ci`
+- `npm run typecheck`
+- `npm run lint`
+- `npm test`
+- `npm run build`
+- `npm run coverage`
+- `npm run test:model-matrix:smoke`
+
+Broad validation result:
+
+- `101/101` test files passed
+- `2352/2352` tests passed
+- full coverage pass after rebuild in the RC worktree
+- model-matrix smoke completed with only skipped cases for the current runtime/account capability set after the entitlement-aware harness fix
+
+## Merged PRs
+
+- `#64` `test(settings): split persistence regression coverage`
+- `#71` `fix(storage): harden recovery and intentional reset flows`
+- `#72` `fix(sync): keep Codex CLI state mirror-only`
+
+## Commits
+
+- RC assembled from `main` plus open PR heads `#64`, `#71`, and `#72`.
+- Release-only follow-up commit `961c3db` formalizes the flagged reset edge-case fix, the entitlement-aware smoke harness update, and the fresh-worktree documentation-test fix needed to keep the validation gate reproducible.
+- Release-only follow-up commit `c946d08` adds broad merged-feature regression coverage so the final RC is validated by both focused suites and cross-feature integration scenarios.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Flagged-account clears now remain suppressed when the reset marker exists, even if the primary flagged file survives an initial delete failure.
+- Smoke-matrix results now distinguish unsupported account/runtime capabilities from true release-blocking failures.
+- The current smoke run was environment-inconclusive rather than failing: no supported live model completed in this account/runtime, but no hard harness or transformer failures remained.
+- Broad release regressions now verify that Codex CLI mirror files cannot mutate canonical storage or unified settings, and that flagged reset suppression still holds when mirror files exist.
