Closes #179.

Summary

paragent@0.1.1 is on the npm registry with SLSA provenance (published by the release workflow on tag v0.1.1). Three documents asserted the opposite and are now false.

README.md — restores npx paragent … as the headline Quick Start and moves the clone path back under the contributor <details>. This reverts the temporary shape #174 introduced, which was correct at the time: npx genuinely 404'd then.

docs/outreach/awesome-lists.md — the install-path precondition row and the "Ready to submit?" verdict both cited npm view paragent → 404 as the blocker. Both flipped, plus the #167 follow-up in Open questions retired and the stale docs/138-awesome-lists verification line refreshed.

docs/README.md — index row called the packet Blocked.

What I deliberately did not change

The awesome-lists verdict now reads "mechanical preconditions are met" rather than "ready to submit." Publishing closed the honesty gate; it does not answer whether a pre-gate project with no Track-1 number belongs on a curated list, and #138 reserves the submission for the founder. Flipping that to green would have been the same class of error the packet was written to prevent.

Test plan

  • npm run lint:docs — clean (68 docs)
  • Quick Start verified against the published tarball from a clean directory, not the working tree:
    • npx paragent record --fixture --out trajectory.json → 6-step trajectory, exit 0
    • npx paragent compile --in trajectory.json --out bundle.jsonrows=6 pool_eligible=3, exit 0
    • trajectory scanned for "value": / Set-Cookie / localStorage / sessionStorage → none
  • npm view paragent version0.1.1; dist.attestationshttps://slsa.dev/provenance/v1
  • No remaining "not published" / "returns 404" / "npx is not available" claims in README.md or docs/

paragent@0.1.1 is on the registry with SLSA provenance, so three
documents that were true this morning are now false.

README: restore npx as the headline Quick Start and move the clone path
back under the contributor <details>. Verified against the published
tarball from a clean directory, not the working tree — `npx paragent
record --fixture` writes a 6-step trajectory and `npx paragent compile`
turns it into 6 rows, 3 pool-eligible, both exit 0.

awesome-lists packet: the install-path precondition row and the "Ready
to submit?" verdict both asserted `npm view paragent` returns 404. Flip
them, and retire the #167 follow-up in Open questions. The verdict now
says the mechanical preconditions are met while keeping the submission
itself a founder decision — #138 reserves that, and whether a pre-gate
project belongs on a curated list is unchanged by publishing.

docs/README.md: the index row called the packet Blocked.
