Problem (audit critical)

Every install path in the Quickstart was broken:

  • brew install --cask thousandflowers/parrot/parrot → the tap thousandflowers/homebrew-parrot does not exist (404)
  • Or download the DMG → links releases/latest, which resolves to nothing (only release is the v0.9.0-beta1 pre-release)
  • brew install --cask thousandflowers/parrot/wren → same dead tap, and Wren has no releases at all
  • Feature table claimed Homebrew cask ✅

Fix

  • Quickstart links the one artifact that exists: Parrot_beta1.dmg from v0.9.0-beta1, labeled as beta
  • Wren block links the repo instead of a dead brew command
  • Feature table row → ◻︎ with first stable release

Real resolution stays the same as the audit says: one stable release (DMG + real tap + appcast item) fixes 5 findings at once. Until then the README shouldn't send users into 404s.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The Quickstart told users to brew install from the
thousandflowers/parrot tap, which does not exist (404), and the
DMG link pointed at releases/latest, which resolves to nothing
because the only release is the v0.9.0-beta1 pre-release. The
sibling-app block had the same dead tap for Wren, which also has
no releases yet.

Point straight at the one artifact that exists (Parrot_beta1.dmg)
and at the Wren repo; mark the Homebrew cask feature-table row as
pending the first stable release.
