From sherpa to Sherpa

Sherpa changes the product command to /sherpa, the management binary to sherpa, and project state to .sherpa/.

If an older project has .hackathon/ and no .sherpa/, Sherpa reads the old directory for one release and reports a deprecation notice. Run sherpa migrate to copy the full tree after confirmation. Migration refuses to overwrite .sherpa/ and leaves the source untouched. Do not remove the legacy folder until you have reviewed the copied data.

Use the uppercase SHERPA_* installer variables. Former sherpa_* names remain accepted as fallbacks for this release. Generic event variables such as HACKATHON_NAME are unchanged.

The deprecated sherpa CLI shim prints “sherpa is now Sherpa” and forwards to sherpa. The npm package is sherpa-skill because the sherpa package name is taken. Runtime support statuses remain as recorded in the compatibility guide.
