v1.18.1 — VNC compatibility and MCP startup fix

on GitHub

v1.18.1

A small patch for two broken paths:

• Bundled MCP server starts again. The root npm package now includes the mcp/package.json that its camofox-browser-mcp command reads at startup. Fixes #12323. The standalone MCP package is also published at 1.18.1.
• Container VNC without a surprise exposed port. VNC_BIND still controls noVNC only. Native VNC stays on loopback unless you explicitly set VNC_RFB_BIND; a non-loopback native bind requires VNC_PASSWORD. Container setup and the passwordless noVNC warning are documented. Fixes #12372 via #12468. Thanks to @mmbeanz for the reproduction and investigation in #12374.

The bundled npm browser download is pinned to Camoufox 152.0.4-beta.30: a newer upstream binary introduced a startup incompatibility with the pinned camoufox-js. Both the automatic install and npm run fetch-bin now select the tested release. Root and standalone MCP dependency pins include the patched hono version.

The root package was packed and installed into a clean directory, and its MCP handshake passed. Linux and Windows browser E2E, unit tests, the ClawHub dry run, and post-merge CI passed. The VNC behavior was also tested in a live ARM64 container.

This release does not include the separate native-credential prototype.
