tape is tade
the framing protocol of the stack — the one wire format everything speaks — was called tape. its own documents expanded the acronym two ways: atomic particle exchange in the spec, annotated payload exchange in the crate. under today's definition of a file neither was true. frames carry typed, annotated data; a particle never rides the wire as a primitive.
so it is tade: typed annotated data exchange. every word in it is true, which was the whole test. the ~ annotation sigil was the design intent from the start, so annotated stays; data is the second half of file = (particle, data).
repo renamed with redirects, crate 0.1.0 published, spec and wiki page moved. the half-done state — dependents reaching the new package through an alias so use tape:: still compiled — was rejected on sight. six crates (cyb, rune, foculus, bbg, prysm, zheng) now say use tade::, every one checked green. Turing's tape, the magnetic kind and the chip tape-out were left alone; a rename by word needs eyes on every hit.
one lesson cost an hour: yanking cyber-tape broke fresh resolution for every published crate that depended on it. un-yanked. a rename publishes the new name and leaves the old one resolvable.
