How to migrate to the bare 'attestix' name on npm (now matching pip install attestix on PyPI).

npm package rename — `@vibetensor/attestix` → `attestix`

TL;DR — the JS/TS verifier package is now published as bare attestix on npm, matching pip install attestix on PyPI. The old scoped name @vibetensor/attestix is deprecated and will receive no new versions.

What changed

	Before	After
npm name	`@vibetensor/attestix`	`attestix`
Install command	`npm install @vibetensor/attestix`	`npm install attestix`
Import	`from '@vibetensor/attestix'`	`from 'attestix'`
PyPI name	`attestix`	`attestix` (unchanged)

The intent is symmetry — pip install attestix and npm install attestix install the language-respective verifier under one canonical name.

Migration in 60 seconds

# 1. Uninstall the scoped package:
npm uninstall @vibetensor/attestix

# 2. Install the bare package:
npm install attestix

# 3. Find and replace imports across your repo
#    (POSIX / Git Bash / WSL — adjust for your shell):
grep -rln "@vibetensor/attestix" . --include='*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,mjs,cjs}' \
  | xargs sed -i 's|@vibetensor/attestix|attestix|g'

The exports and API surface are identical — only the package name changed. No source code changes are required beyond the import string.

Before / after

// Before
import { verifyCredential } from '@vibetensor/attestix'

// After
import { verifyCredential } from 'attestix'

// package.json — before
{
  "dependencies": {
    "@vibetensor/attestix": "^0.2.0"
  }
}

// package.json — after
{
  "dependencies": {
    "attestix": "^0.2.0"
  }
}

Why we renamed

Symmetry with PyPI. pip install attestix was always the canonical Python install. The scoped npm name created asymmetric muscle memory.
Cleaner install command for blog posts, tutorials, and quickstarts.
Cross-language ecosystem coherence — future Rust crate (attestix), Go module (github.com/VibeTensor/attestix-go), and other ports follow the same bare-name pattern.

Deprecation timeline

Date	Event
2026-05-28	`attestix@0.2.0` published to npm. `@vibetensor/attestix@0.2.0` deprecated with a redirect message in the `npm install` output.
2026-06-30	Last scoped patch (`@vibetensor/attestix@0.2.1`) ships only if a P0 security fix is required.
2026-08-01	Scoped name receives no further updates. Use `npm install attestix` for all new versions.

The scoped package will remain installable indefinitely (npm does not unpublish packages older than 72 hours after first publish) — but it freezes at the deprecation date.

Verify your migration

After replacing the import string, confirm the bare package resolves:

node -e "console.log(require('attestix'))"

You should see the exported surface. If you still get Cannot find module 'attestix', the install step did not run — re-run npm install attestix from the project root.

For TypeScript projects, make sure tsc --noEmit still passes after the rename:

npx tsc --noEmit

The type declarations are identical between the two package names.
