Before you install — these builds are not code-signed or notarized yet.
Windows: SmartScreen will warn on first run. Click More info → Run anyway. The .msi may show a similar "unknown publisher" prompt. The installer (.exe) also sets up the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime if your PC doesn't have it, so you may see an administrator prompt. The .msi does not: if you use it on a PC without that runtime, install the Visual C++ Redistributable (x64) first.
macOS: Gatekeeper may say the app is "damaged" after a browser download. It isn't — drag it to Applications, then run
xattr -cr "/Applications/Sovereign Drive.app"
Verify first: compare your download's SHA-256 against SHA256SUMS.txt (shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt on macOS/Linux).

What's new in 1.8.1

Safer installs, more reliable sync, clearer agent tools.

The Windows .msi no longer installs a broken app. If the Visual C++ runtime is missing, it now explains what is needed and stops. The .exe still installs the runtime for you; the .msi does not.
Agent chat is more reliable. Messages reach idle agents, delivery is visible, and you can load older messages beyond the latest 50.
Tasks and device sync are more dependable. Recurring tasks no longer duplicate across devices, deleting a task removes only its own files, and sync-folder changes no longer report old files as deleted.
Search, facts, files and agent tools are clearer. Search supports keyword, semantic and hybrid modes; task and search tools report totals and paginate; watched-folder overlaps ask first; and duplicate-file reports are read-only.
Known limits. Windows and macOS installers are unsigned/not notarized, macOS is Apple Silicon only, and only the first watched folder (or the one chosen for sync) syncs between devices. The device-sync timeout fix (#242) is not in this release.
