v0.18.1 - Unified First Run

Agent Memory Bridge 0.18.1 is a narrow adoption polish release over the v0.18
Task Brief work.

0.18.1 = first-run config and Task Brief guidance without expanding the MCP surface.

What Changed

• Added agent-memory-bridge first-run, a CLI/report that combines:
  • install commands
  • client config snippets
  • doctor / verify steps
  • a read-only Task Brief for the first namespace/query
• Added client config renderers for OpenCode and Hermes.
• Kept AMH optional: first-run does not require the harness or treat packet
  previews as durable authority.
• Kept config writes manual: the command renders copy/paste output and does not
  edit client config files.
• The public MCP surface remains unchanged at 10 tools.

Validation

• pytest: 318 passed
• release contract: passed
• public MCP surface: unchanged at 10 tools
• targeted first-run/config/task-brief tests: passed

Boundaries

This is still not:

• a new MCP tool
• an AMH runtime dependency
• a plugin package for every client
• an automatic client-config writer
• a scheduler, watcher, or worker runtime
• an automatic promotion, deletion, merge, or writeback path

first-run is a derived operator report. It helps a human or agent configure the
bridge and see the first Task Brief, but it does not write durable memory records
and client configuration remains a manual copy/paste step.

Public MCP Surface

The public MCP surface remains unchanged:

• store
• recall
• browse
• stats
• forget
• promote
• export
• claim_signal
• extend_signal_lease
• ack_signal
