docs/guides/install.md carries a blockquote under "Any OS, from source":

Temporary, until the forge is fully public: go install resolves madtea.lol from the forge directly, so it works only from a network that can reach the forge, and needs GOPRIVATE=madtea.lol ... Everyone else uses the curl / Homebrew / Scoop paths above for now. This note goes away at full-public ...

Treat madtea as public and drop this caveat. A plain go install madtea.lol/cmd/madtea@latest is the install line - no GOPRIVATE, no "works only from a forge-reachable network" hedge. go install is a normal, first-class install path.

This also unblocks madtea.lol featuring go install as the primary command without inheriting a caveat.

Acceptance

The GOPRIVATE blockquote is gone from docs/guides/install.md.
The "from source" section shows the plain go install madtea.lol/cmd/madtea@latest with no GOPRIVATE note.

forge is IP-gated: open the edge to the Go proxy so public go install madtea.lol resolves (full-public milestone) #455

Blocked pending the forge going full-public - do not execute yet.

Verified 2026-08-26: the forge is still IP-gated. proxy.golang.org gets HTTP 403 on anonymous git clone of git.cheshirecube.cloud/sixfold-space/madtea, while an allowlisted host gets 200 (curl / git / Go-http-client alike, so it is source-IP gating). The GOPRIVATE caveat is therefore still accurate and must NOT be dropped.

Drop it only after the forge edge is opened - tracked in #455. (Separately, the live vanity meta is stale and points at the dead GitHub repo - madtea-site#58 - which also has to be redeployed before go install madtea.lol works at all.)
