docs: reposition floe-guard around "know what every call costs" (not the budget guard) - #114
Conversation
…, not the guard The README, PyPI/npm one-liners, AGENTS.md, SKILL.md and llms.txt all led with 'the spend meter and budget gate … hard-stops before your ceiling' — the mechanism, not the value. They now lead with 'Know what every AI call really costs' (matching floefinance.com): the live ledger floe-guard keeps locally, plus the free Coverage Score + 7-day history you get on connect, with the budget hard-stop demoted to a feature. Claims stay honest about OSS vs hosted: the live ledger is local (export_log()); Coverage Score and 7-day history are the free hosted tier the ledger feeds. No code change. Bumps py 0.23.2 / js 0.15.3 (Version Guard: pyproject + js metadata changed) + changelog.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change only updates product messaging and package metadata, but the current text could blur the distinction between default-local offline behavior and optional hosted access, while package listings omit key hosted-tier features. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a small follow-up to keep these descriptions accurate. Suggested reviewers: Poem

Pull request overview
This PR repositions floe-guard’s documentation and package metadata to lead with the “know what every AI call really costs” value proposition (live ledger + optional hosted benefits), while keeping the hard-stop/budget guard as a supporting feature. It updates top-level messaging across docs surfaces and bumps package versions accordingly (no runtime behavior changes).
Changes:
- Updates top-of-funnel messaging in
README.md,AGENTS.md,SKILL.md, andllms.txtto lead with cost visibility (live ledger) and optional hosted connect benefits. - Updates PyPI/npm one-liners and bumps versions (
pyproject.toml,js/package.json,js/package-lock.json). - Adds a changelog entry describing the positioning change (
CHANGELOG.md).

Scope offline behavior to the default local mode.
Both summaries place hosted connection messaging next to an unqualified “no network” statement, although both documents describe hosted access and ledger sync as explicit opt-ins.
AGENTS.md#L13-L14: state that the local mode is offline by default and separate hosted access and sync.llms.txt#L7-L8: apply the same default-local qualification to the product summary.

Align both package descriptions with the product positioning.
The PR objective and CHANGELOG.md state that package listings should lead with the local live ledger and identify the hosted Coverage Score and 7-day history. Both descriptions currently stop after the local ledger and hard-stop.
