Note

Low Risk
Low risk release metadata update; the only behavioral change is a small tweak to scripts/bootstrap to treat an unset SKIP_BREW safely when deciding whether to run Homebrew setup on macOS.

Overview
Bumps the package to v0.18.1 by updating the release manifest, internal.PackageVersion, README install snippet, and adding the corresponding CHANGELOG.md entry.

Makes the scripts/bootstrap Homebrew check more robust by using ${SKIP_BREW:-} so an unset SKIP_BREW variable doesn’t break the conditional logic on macOS.
