📊 Summary Statistics

Files Modified: 15
Submodules Updated: 6 (core, core-types, ui, components-types, examples, devtools, site, apps)
Version References Updated: 20+
CDN URLs Updated: 7
Package.json Files Updated: 4

🎯 Consistency Improvements

Naming Consistency

✅ All references now use @larcjs/ui (not @larcjs/ui)
✅ All references now use @larcjs/ui-types (not @larcjs/ui-types)

Version Consistency

✅ All docs reference current package versions
✅ All peer dependencies updated to match current versions
✅ Production status document reflects current state

Positioning Consistency

✅ "Framework complement" messaging throughout
✅ Bundle size reduction highlighted (60%+)
✅ Core size correctly stated (~5KB)
✅ Test coverage accurately reflected (335 tests)

Link Consistency

✅ All GitHub links point to correct repositories
✅ All email addresses removed or corrected
✅ All CDN URLs use versioned packages

📝 Notes

Still Using Package Names

The meta repository's ui/ and ui-types/ directory names remain unchanged (they're git submodules pointing to the components and components-types repos). Only documentation references were updated.

CDN Version Strategy

All CDN URLs now pin to specific versions for reliability. Users can still use unpinned URLs (@larcjs/core/pan.js) if they want automatic updates.

Production Status

The project is now accurately represented as production-ready with:

335 tests passing in core
100% test coverage in components
Comprehensive browser compatibility documentation
Security audited

🚀 Next Steps

For Future Updates:

When bumping versions, update:

- Package version badges in README files - CDN URLs in example code - Peer dependencies in package.json files - Production status document

Maintain consistency in:

- Package naming (@larcjs/ui, not @larcjs/ui) - Positioning messaging (framework complement) - Bundle size claims (backed by real measurements) Recommended Automation:

Consider adding a script to check/update version references
Add CI check for version consistency
Create version bump checklist
