Sync messaging: retired, not paused/rebuilt - #14
Merged

Conversation
devcat.dev's dynamic app is permanently retired, not being rebuilt, and hosted sync is not coming back. Update the CLI description, the runtime error message, the paused-sync test, and the README's Profile sync section so none of them promise a return. Self-host path (DEVCAT_API_URL + DEVCAT_SYNC_ENABLED) is unchanged and still documented as working. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Small truthfulness fix before the 0.2.1 npm publish (version stays 0.2.1 — this rides the same unpublished release). The CLI and README still claimed devcat.dev was "being rebuilt" and that "sync returns with the site." Both are now false: the dynamic devcat.dev app is permanently retired, and hosted sync/profiles are not coming back absent an explicit evidence gate nobody should promise.
src/cli.ts:synccommand description —(paused while the site is rebuilt)→(hosted sync retired)src/commands/sync.ts: doc comment above the message constant no longer says "being rebuilt" or "delete this gate when devcat.dev is back";SYNC_PAUSED_MESSAGEnow reads:test/integration/sync.paused.test.ts: header comment,describetitle, and the message assertion updated to match (red → green verified locally: updated the test first, confirmed it failed against the unchanged message, then fixed the source).README.md: Commands table row, the sync env-var sentence, theDEVCAT_SYNC_ENABLEDtable row, and the whole "Profile sync" section (heading, intro, quoted output block, "Sync returns with the site." sentence removed, self-host paragraph reframed as "hosted service retired; self-host path remains"). The quoted terminal block is byte-identical to the actual runtime stderr line (verified against a failing-test diff, not just eyeballed).CHANGELOG.md: added one bullet to the existing 0.2.1 entry noting the sync messaging change. The 0.2.0 historical entry (which still says "politely paused while devcat.dev is offline") is untouched — it's a record of what shipped then, not a current claim.Also grepped the whole tracked tree for
rebuilt,returns with the site,while the site,comes back,paused,temporar*, andcurrently unavailable. Two other hits were investigated and left alone as out of scope:src/lib/errorMap.tssync_disabled→ "DevCat sync is temporarily disabled. Try again shortly." — this is a generic mapped message for an API-returned error code on the (still-functional) self-host path, not a claim about devcat.dev's retirement.test/unit/auth/deviceFlow.test.ts— an MSW-mocked HTTP 500 fixture body ("Service temporarily unavailable"), never shown to a real user.No behavior changes beyond these strings:
