From 404e5afb35549b1e38ce473fb4c90d90d92c8966 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shreyansh Sancheti <43677304+shreyanshjain7174@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 13:57:26 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] docs(paper): retitle to Agent Native Format The repo was repositioned to Agent Native Format. Retitle the paper to lead with the ANF project and keep ACP as the named execution-contract layer it describes (the paper is about execution contracts, not the ANF view format). Also drop the leftover author email in the .tex to match acp.md (#21). PDF is gitignored; CI builds it and the release ships the rebuilt PDF.
