Note

Overview
Release 9.18.2 bumps the published SDK version from 9.18.1 to 9.18.2 across the manifest (VERSION, pyproject.toml, Release Please manifest, and PROVENANCE.md verification example).

The changelog documents the shipped fix (#537): stream initialization duration and FDv2 state window timing now use monotonic clocks instead of wall-clock time, so NTP adjustments or clock skew are less likely to skew timeouts and internal timing.
