The front door now says "a tiny pixel character that walks your GitHub contribution year". Six other shopfronts still said "a personality layer any CLI can embed":

where said
crates.io awan-core "…for your terminal"
crates.io awan-cli "demo, watch, idle, statusline"
crates.io awan "a personality layer any CLI can embed"
npm "a personality layer any CLI can embed"
PyPI "a personality layer any CLI can embed"
Roadmap destination = the embed API

A rename that stops at the README isn't a rename — it's a contradiction somebody finds later.

And one was factually wrong: awan-cli advertised idle, which is a default event for react, not a command — while omitting busy, sing and react, which are. Fixed here; crates.io picks it up at the next release.

The roadmap now names the pitch and admits the rest is still true. The terminal companion and the embed API both work and both stay. They just aren't the sign above the door.

The repo's front door said 'walks your GitHub contribution year'. Six other
shopfronts still said 'a personality layer any CLI can embed' — crates.io, npm,
PyPI, and a roadmap whose destination was the embed API. A name change that
stops at the README isn't a name change, it's a contradiction someone finds
later.

awan-cli's description was also wrong on the facts: it listed 'idle', which is
a default *event* for react and not a command, and omitted busy, sing and
react, which are. Fixed here; crates.io carries it at the next release.

The roadmap now says which thing is the pitch and admits the rest is still
true. The terminal companion and the embed API both work and both stay — they
just aren't the sign above the door. A character card people want beats a
library nobody asked for, and pretending otherwise is what kept the front page
explaining instead of showing.
