CLI and TypeScript reach 0.164.0 while Python remains 0.163.0. The timed CLI and TypeScript reads select latest=0.164.0 and alpha=0.165.0-alpha.1; Python remains 0.163.0 with no 0.164.0 publication observed. Homebrew selects 0.164.0. These are individually timed channel observations, not end-of-day promises; the stable release date is 23 October.

Channel: docs-only. Half: both. Date: 2026-10-24.

Operator consequence: Install the explicit CLI version and check each SDK publication separately. Do not prescribe an unpublished Python 0.164.0 or infer runtime compatibility from matching project names.
