Polish release: five-minute quickstart, per-template READMEs, npm metadata, Mermaid loop diagram, and a maintainer release-process checklist.
Added
docs/quickstart.md— five-minute walkthrough fromnpx ralph-research demo writingto inspecting the persisted decision evidence.docs/release-process.md— the maintainer checklist (bump four version literals, promote[Unreleased], commit, push, cut the GitHub release, thennpm publish).- Per-template READMEs under
templates/writing/README.mdandtemplates/code/README.mdsorrx initleaves a self-explaining tree. - README "Support the Project" section and a Mermaid loop diagram embedded near the top.
- CI verify matrix now covers
ubuntu-latestandmacos-latest. package.jsonexposesrepository,bugs,homepage,engines,author, and an expandedkeywordsarray.tests/version-consistency.test.tspins the metadata so it cannot quietly disappear.SUPPORTED_DEMO_TEMPLATESis a single source of truth for therrx demotemplate list. The Commander argument description and a vitest regression both consume it.
Changed
docs/comparison.mdrewritten with a concrete side-by-side table naming LangGraph, aider, and the prompt-only "ralph loop" pattern this project is named after.docs/launch/drafts updated to the publishednpx ralph-research ...invocation and to mention the bundledcodedemo.docs/examples-catalog.mddocuments the bundled code template as the primary code example.
Fixed
package-lock.jsonnow reportsname: "ralph-research"instead of the pre-renameresearch-ratchetplaceholder, and a regression pins name parity withpackage.json.
