Why:
Make independent version consumption work from ordinary clones while retaining historical commits and existing branch workspaces.
Evidence:
SELF Dev task receipts record 24 CI boundary cases, all workflow syntax checks, readonly private-source prefetch in clean exports, provider tests and package installation without acquisition scripts. Platform CI remains pending.
Impact:
Remove only replaced index links, preserve old physical checkouts, and update dependency guidance. Library consumers retain their immutable versions until an explicit dependency update.

Services can resolve legacy aliases and expose the catalog over CLI and HTTP instead of ad-hoc error strings.
