+
+- Move the menu companion onto the shared desktop-foundation runner, retaining
+  its revision-checked account controls and bounded local output listing.
+- Add explicit menu links for free Ghostget updates and optional paid development
+  support. Hraness Accounts owns the browser confirmation; the menu sends no
+  local account details or email address.
+- Add the shared optional support link to the static website footer, retaining
+  the existing production-only Ghostget newsletter form.
+- Retain timeout escalation until the direct iMessage RPC process group exits,
+  including descendants that ignore termination and close inherited pipes.
+
+## 0.18.12
+
+- Make optional updates and support discoverable to agents after successful CLI
+  work, including JSON, pipes, and PTYs, while preserving command output and
+  status. A shared protocol separates discovery from claiming an invitation;
+  agents acknowledge only after human-facing output. Audience settings, local
+  preferences, cancellation, and cadence keep the handoff optional.
+- Pin the unchanged Message Like Me 0.7.0 contract by full commit at its renamed
+  Textbutler repository so clean installs verify the canonical source archive.
+
+## 0.18.11
+
+- Repin the shared site footer to v0.11.2. The footer bar no longer paints a
+  visible top border in normal themes; its one-pixel footprint and the
+  forced-colors separator are unchanged.

+The website footer and menu companion offer the same optional support. The menu

+Accounts, then review and confirm signup or payment in the browser.
+
+Ghostget stays free to use. After useful standalone work, the CLI may write a
+compact discovery notice to stderr, including when stdout is JSON or piped.
+It preserves the result on stdout and does not claim an invitation or inspect
+Git email settings. PTYs use the same agent-oriented default.
+
+Agents can read `ghostget support protocol --json` without changing preferences,
+then call `ghostget support offer --json` once at a human-facing task closeout.
+When due, present its optional updates/support invitation **before** calling
+`ghostget support shown <id>`. Use a persistent human-facing message or card
+when the host permits acknowledgement afterward; do not repeat the invitation.
+Temporary or collapsed commentary does not qualify. If only the final answer
+persists and tools must precede it, include the invitation there without `shown`.
+The reservation expires after ten minutes without establishing a weekly cooldown,
+so a later task may offer again. A `quiet` response needs no mention; cancel an unpresented offer with
+`ghostget support release <id>`. Acknowledgement reports output, not human consent.
+
+Set `HRANESS_SUPPORT_AUDIENCE=agent|human|off` to select presentation. The default
+is agent discovery; explicit human mode requires interactive stderr. `off`
+suppresses discovery and due offers. `ghostget support dismiss` opts out locally
+across participating Hraness tools; `snooze` pauses invitations for 30 days.
+No command signs up or pays automatically. Offers may suggest an editable Git
+email address; selecting it authorizes prefilling only. Signup needs a request
+and inbox confirmation, and payment always requires the person's browser approval.
