## Summary

Homebody has released version 0.5.18, which includes fixes to Strict Kids speech and the cancellation mechanism and adds five additional Kids languages configured by the host. This release enforces tool-free, same-session native Workspace discussion and improves Python 3.11-compatible Bluetooth pairing and more truthful daemon model readiness. Native discussion requires a compatible listener deployed separately, and no claim is made that physical microphone, camera, motion, or child gameplay have been accepted.
