WARDEN 0.18.0 streamlines AI agent instruction review with clearer change detection

WARDEN, a tool for managing AI agent instructions, has updated to version 0.18.0, improving how it displays changes to MCP server tool definitions.

The new version highlights specific changes, such as a modification to the `publish_app` tool's description that alters its payment processing behavior from test to live mode.
