Goal

Remove the pre-launch / not-public notices at the public launch, tracked here so none of them rely on a future code sweep to be found.

Notices to remove or relax at launch

  • CONTRIBUTING.md - "madtea is not public yet ... work only after the public launch"
  • docs/contributing/releasing.md - the pre-release notice (releases-page and package-manager links not reachable until launch)
  • docs/contributing/releasing.md - "At the public launch each satellite moves to a public home"
  • docs/contributing/github-source-sync.md - the pre-launch notice (the madtea.lol module path is not live until the rename plus the first release)

Why

A pre-launch marker with no tracking issue rots in place and ships. This issue is the deliberate tracker, so the launch checklist removes each notice on purpose rather than hoping a sweep catches it.

Related: #380 (the madtea.lol migration), #381 (the release retooling that must land before the first release).

Mis-framed. madtea is already public on Codeberg (codeberg.org/sixfold_space/madtea, released through v0.18.3) - this is a migration, not a pre-launch. The transitional notices are not launch-gated; they come out when the madtea.lol migration completes. Folding that cleanup into the migration epic #420, and the notices now reference #420 for removal on completion.
