README: wire bins via npm scripts, warn against npx - #1
Merged
Conversation
- Replaces the `npx`-based usage examples with `package.json` script wiring: this package is a git-only dependency, so `npx BIN` on a stale or missing `node_modules` falls back to the public registry — where the `lychee-norm-cache` name is squatted (dependency-confusion PoC, 2026-06-30). - Adds a warning admonition naming the hazard and the safe pattern (bare bin names under `npm run` resolve via `node_modules/.bin` or fail loudly, no registry traffic).
