Present Claw Code as the current Rust product

The release-prep docs still framed the workspace as a Rust variant,
which understated the owner's current product position. This update
rewrites the README title and positioning so Claw Code is presented
as the current product surface, while keeping the legal framing clear:
Claude Code inspired, implemented clean-room in Rust, and not a direct
port or copy. The draft 0.1.0 release notes now mirror that language.

Constraint: Docs must reflect the current owner positioning without introducing unsupported product claims
Constraint: Legal framing must stay explicit that this is a clean-room Rust implementation, not a direct port or copy
Rejected: Leave release notes unchanged | would keep product-positioning language inconsistent across release-facing docs
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep future release-facing docs aligned on product naming and clean-room positioning before tagging releases
Tested: Reviewed README and docs/releases/0.1.0.md after edits; verified only intended docs files were staged
Not-tested: cargo check and cargo test (docs-only pass; no code changes)

# Claw Code for Rust
# Claw Code
Claw Code is a local coding-agent CLI implemented in safe Rust. The `claw` binary supports interactive sessions, one-shot prompts, workspace-aware tools, and local agent workflows from a single workspace.
Claw Code is a local coding-agent CLI implemented in safe Rust. It is **Claude Code inspired** and developed as a **clean-room implementation**: it aims for a strong local agent experience, but it is **not** a direct port or copy of Claude Code.
The Rust workspace is the current main product surface. The `claw` binary provides interactive sessions, one-shot prompts, workspace-aware tools, local agent workflows, and plugin-capable operation from a single workspace.
## Current status
- **Version:** `0.1.0`
- **Release stage:** initial public release, source-build distribution
- **Primary implementation:** Rust workspace in this repository
- **Platform focus:** macOS and Linux developer workstations
- **Rust port status:** core CLI, runtime, tools, plugins, LSP, and support services are all in the Rust workspace

## Summary
Claw Code for Rust `0.1.0` is the first public release-prep milestone for the safe-Rust workspace. This release centers on a usable local CLI experience: interactive sessions, non-interactive prompts, workspace tools, configuration loading, sessions, plugins, and local agent/skill discovery.
Claw Code `0.1.0` is the first public release-prep milestone for the current Rust implementation. Claw Code is Claude Code inspired and built as a clean-room Rust implementation; it is not a direct port or copy. This release centers on a usable local CLI experience: interactive sessions, non-interactive prompts, workspace tools, configuration loading, sessions, plugins, and local agent/skill discovery.
## Highlights
- Safe-Rust workspace release at version `0.1.0`
- Initial public `0.1.0` release candidate for Claw Code
- Safe-Rust implementation as the current primary product surface
- `claw` CLI for interactive and one-shot coding-agent workflows
- Built-in workspace tools for shell, file operations, search, web fetch/search, todo tracking, and notebook updates
- Slash-command surface for status, compaction, config inspection, sessions, diff/export, and version info

## Recommended release framing
Position `0.1.0` as the first public Rust release for early adopters who are comfortable building from source. The feature surface is broad enough for real usage, but packaged installation and release automation should follow in a later release.
