Closes #107.

Points all 33 in-repo references at Refactron-ai/refactron, so the tree matches
the repository and the package.

Why rename

The repo should match the package. Someone runs npm i refactron, wants the
source, and types github.com/Refactron-ai/refactron.

The old name was also wrong three times over after the 0.4.0 split:

  • _Lib — it is not a library. It is two binaries, refactron and
    refactron-mcp. The library entry point did not exist at all until 0.4.0
    added src/index.ts; main had pointed at a nonexistent dist/index.js
    since before 0.2.0.
  • _TS — an implementation-language suffix only earns its keep when a
    sibling implementation exists. refactron-py is a thin wrapper inside this
    repo, not beside it, and the refactoring product is archived.
  • PascalCase_with_underscores — unusual on GitHub, awkward to type and to
    say.

What changed

33 occurrences across 13 files:

what where
clone URLs and their cd targets README, CONTRIBUTING, RUNBOOK, docs/quickstart, docs/verification/verify-diff, docs/mcp/other-clients
CI badge, OG image (raw.githubusercontent) README
security-advisory link SECURITY.md
repository / bugs / homepage package.json
Homepage refactron-py/pyproject.toml
navbar and footer links docs/docs.json
CHANGELOG links docs/changelog.mdx
Mintlify GitHub App note dev-docs/launch/deploy-docs.md

The raw.githubusercontent.com URLs matter most: unlike page URLs, they are not
covered by GitHub's HTML redirect.

Also corrects one stale claim in a file this already touched: docs/faq.mdx
explained language support as "a full adapter per language", and adapters left
with the refactoring product in 0.4.0. It now describes what the code has —
syntax and imports checks, plus a coverage tool we can run exactly as your test
command runs it.

Evidence

docs.json parses                    ok
typecheck / lint / format:check     exit 0
docs nav                            20 pages, 0 missing files, 0 dead links
clone/cd coherence                  all 6 pairs line up
Refactron_Lib_TS remaining          0

No source file changed, so the test suite is unaffected and no verdict path is
touched.

Sequencing

The GitHub rename has already happened. I found that out when gh pr create
returned a URL under Refactron-ai/refactron. Confirmed:

https://github.com/Refactron-ai/Refactron_Lib_TS  ->  200, final URL .../refactron

So the URLs in this diff resolve today and this is safe to merge whenever. An
earlier draft of this description carried a "do not merge until the rename"
warning; that is obsolete, and is recorded here rather than quietly deleted.

One thing still needs a human, and it is outside this repo. npm OIDC trusted
publishing is bound to the repository name, is configured on npmjs.com rather
than in this tree, and does not follow a GitHub rename. If that binding still
names Refactron_Lib_TS, the next v* tag will pass validate-tag and the full
test suite and then fail at the publish step — the same shape of late failure
release.yml already records hitting once during the npm 12 upgrade. 0.4.0
released successfully, but that does not prove the current state if the rename
landed afterwards. Worth checking before the next release rather than
discovering it mid-release.

PyPI needs nothing: it goes through pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish from the
pypi-production environment, with no repo-name binding.

Not done here

  • Not updating the npm trusted publisher. Outside this tree; see above.
  • Not renaming the Refactron-ai org. Only the repo moved.
  • Not renaming the npm or PyPI package. Both were already refactron; this
    is the repo catching up to them.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Updated setup, build, security, support, and issue-reporting links throughout the documentation.
    • Added research and planning materials covering modernization strategies, migration approaches, architecture, verification, roadmap priorities, and competitive analysis.
    • Added a design specification for pull-request diff verification.
    • Documented version 0.4.1 changes, including verification outcomes and test-coverage reporting.
  • Release

    • Bumped the package version to 0.4.1.
    • Updated project metadata and repository links across JavaScript and Python packages.

Prepares for renaming the GitHub repo from Refactron_Lib_TS to
refactron, so it matches the npm and PyPI package. `_Lib` was never true
of a package whose library entry point did not exist until 0.4.0, and
`_TS` distinguished it from a sibling implementation that does not exist:
refactron-py lives in this repo, and the refactoring product is archived.

33 occurrences across 13 files: the clone URLs and their `cd` targets,
the CI badge, the raw.githubusercontent OG image, the security-advisory
link, package.json repository/bugs/homepage, pyproject Homepage, and the
docs.json navbar and footer links.

DO NOT MERGE BEFORE THE RENAME. These URLs 404 until the repo is renamed
on GitHub, which is why this is a branch and not a commit on main.
GitHub redirects the old URL permanently once the rename happens, so
there is no window where both are broken, but there is one if this lands
first.

The npm OIDC trusted publisher is bound to the repository name and is
configured on npmjs.com, not in this tree. It does not follow a rename.
Update it there BEFORE renaming, or the next tag passes validate-tag and
the full test suite and then fails at publish.

Also corrects a stale claim in the file this touched: faq.mdx explained
language support in terms of a full adapter per language, and adapters
left with the refactoring product. It now describes what the code has,
syntax and imports checks plus a coverage tool we can run exactly as the
test command runs it.

Running tsc, py_compile, and the existing suite after each tool is not a safety comparison. First record compiler and test failures on the unmodified fixture. Then require that each tool introduces no new failures. Otherwise, a preexisting failure marks every tool unsafe, while an empty or weak suite can mark an unsafe rewrite safe.

report its interval, or rename the item and describe the values as a range while
retaining the five-run median/min/max reporting.

In `@dev-docs/specs/2026-07-21-spec2-ci-gate-design.md`:
- Around line 115-121: Remove the timeout-minutes input and its related
documentation from the specification, and require callers to configure the
job-level timeout-minutes instead. Do not leave an unused input or imply that
the composite Action can enforce the caller job timeout.

In `@docs/faq.mdx`:
- Line 67: Update the TypeScript and Python coverage explanation in the FAQ to
state that TypeScript supports syntax and import checks, but SAFE currently
requires a Python-only diff verified with coverage.py; TypeScript-only and
mixed-language diffs must return UNPROVEN. Keep the existing language rationale
and issue link intact, aligning the wording with the documented behavior in
docs/changelog.mdx.
