…he rename introduced The v0.12.0 rename sed'd 'reflex-vla' to 'tether-vla' in many places, but neither the PyPI package (it's 'tether', per pyproject) nor the GitHub repo (FastCrest/tether) is named tether-vla. github.com/FastCrest/tether-vla 404s and pypi.org/project/tether-vla does not exist, so everything that referenced them was broken. It also left current-tense 'reflex' commands in user-facing help text, docs, and infra runbooks. Functional fixes (were broken): - upgrade_check.py: PyPI URL + distribution() looked up 'tether-vla' -> upgrade check could never fire; now 'tether' - cli.py: shim imports 'from reflex.embodiments...' made tether's own CLI emit DeprecationWarnings to users; now imports tether.* directly. Also fixed GitHub URLs, install hints, doctor component label - ci_template.py: generated CI installed from the 404 tether-vla repo URL - scripts/modal_*.py (56 files): git+ install URLs pointed at the 404 FastCrest/tether-vla; egg names 'tether-vla[...]' mismatched the real dist name. Historical pins restored to the actually-published artifacts (reflex-vla==0.6.0, ghcr.io/fastcrest/reflex-vla:0.2.0) with comments - README hero image referenced assets/tether-tweet.gif which didn't exist (404 on the public README); gifs renamed to match. assets/README notes both recordings pre-date the rename and need re-recording - comply/sbom.py: SBOM purl/name now matches the publishable dist 'tether' - install_digest.py: pypistats now aggregates reflex-vla (where all published downloads live) + tether (post-publish) - pro/fingerprint.py: restore the pre-rename salt b'reflex-vla:pro- fingerprint:v1' — the rename rotated it, which would break Pro license node binding for 0.11.x pilots on upgrade. Wire contract, documented Text/branding fixes (stale 'reflex'): - pyproject extras comments, so_arm100 docstrings + error messages, cli.py help text, examples/so_arm100_smolvla.py - launch/ drafts (unpublished), outreach/gmi doc, GOALS.yaml checks (src/reflex paths -> src/tether so the checks evaluate again) - infra/ worker READMEs + deploy.sh operator instructions (D1 names, worker URLs, reflex_version JSON field kept — deployed contracts) - contrib/ros2: reflex_client.py -> tether_client.py, ReflexClient -> TetherClient, shim import fixed - dashboards/reflex_fleet.json -> tether_fleet.json (description text only; reflex_* Prometheus metric names kept — customer wire contract) - OTel service name 'tether-vla' -> 'tether' (+ docs/otel.md) Deliberately kept: src/reflex shim + reflex entry point, REFLEX_* env compat, CHANGELOG history, reflex_version cert field, reflex_* metrics, REFLEX-XXXX license code prefix, reflex_context vault references.

…blocked on PyPI) (#222) * release: set PyPI distribution name to fastcrest-tether (the bare 'tether' name is blocked on PyPI) PyPI rejects the project name 'tether' ('isn't allowed' — reserved/blocked, not merely taken). Published v0.12.0 as 'fastcrest-tether' instead. The import package ('import tether') and the CLI command ('tether ...') are unchanged — only the pip distribution name differs, the same dist/command split reflex-vla already used. - pyproject: name = 'fastcrest-tether' - All 'pip install tether[...]' / 'tether @ git+...' specs across README, docs, install.sh, examples, launch, contrib, ci_template, and the Modal scripts -> 'fastcrest-tether' (CLI commands 'tether ...' left untouched) - PyPI badges + pypistats package -> fastcrest-tether - Functional metadata lookups rewired to the real dist name so they don't silently break (same bug class as #221): upgrade_check distribution(), bench/eval report version(), calibration _safe_pkg_version, agent/hardware _package_version (JSON key 'tether_version' kept), comply/sbom purl+name, doctor component label, telemetry User-Agent, install_digest PACKAGES Kept as 'tether': import package, CLI command + entry point, git repo + clone dir (FastCrest/tether), GHCR image, OTel service name, TETHER_* env, 'tether_version' wire field, src/reflex compat shim. Published: https://pypi.org/project/fastcrest-tether/0.12.0/ Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * ci(doctor-smoke): wheel glob dist/tether-*.whl -> dist/fastcrest_tether-*.whl The dist-name change renamed the built wheel to fastcrest_tether-0.12.0-*.whl, so the doctor-smoke install step's hardcoded dist/tether-*.whl glob matched nothing ('ls: cannot access dist/tether-*.whl'). Update to the new filename. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Why
The v0.12.0 rename sed'd
reflex-vla→tether-vla, but nothing is namedtether-vla: the PyPI package istether(pyproject) and the repo isFastCrest/tether.github.com/FastCrest/tether-vla404s andpypi.org/project/tether-vladoesn't exist — so the upgrade checker, generated CI templates, ~56 Modal scripts' git installs, the SBOM identity, and the public README hero image were all broken. Plus a long tail of current-tensereflexcommands in help text, docs, infra runbooks, contrib, and launch drafts.Functional repairs
