v1.5.18 Release Notes

Release date: 2026-06-23

v1.5.18 is a small CI patch release after v1.5.17. It restores the explicit local-AI verdict line in AI realism auditor reports when Ollama is disabled or offline.

Fixed

AI realism auditor offline report wording

AIRealismAuditor.run_audit() now writes both the compatibility line and the newer explanation-status line:

**Local AI Verdicts:** **offline / disabled**
**Optional AI Explanations:** **offline / disabled**

This keeps the report clear for users and restores the expected test contract.
