NEXO 7.18.1 — packaged Local Context runtime hotfix

Published 2026-05-12. Patch release over v7.18.0.

Why this release exists

Version 7.18.0 shipped the Local Context package in the npm tarball, but packaged installs did not copy that package into the flattened runtime tree. Desktop could then show Local Memory as zero files because Brain could not import local_context.

What changed

Packaged runtime install and update now include local_context. The local-index service also rechecks automatic roots on every cycle, so a newly mounted drive can be picked up without asking the user to add it manually.

Validation

python3 -m py_compile src/cli.py tests/test_local_context_cli.py
