Description
Two release-hygiene items:
- Stale PyPI stub. The
layupname on PyPI is a0.0.1placeholder: an empty__init__.py, no__version__, no CLI, no extension. Anyone who triespip install layupfirst gets a broken package. Yank/replace it as part of the first real release. - Bootstrap leftover.
layup bootstrapleaves the intermediatedebias_hires2018.tgz(~156 MB) in the cache after extraction — delete it post-untar.
Found during a clean-room, fresh-user install + test run-through (fresh venv + --recursive clone, following the README Quickstart), 2026-07-10.

Research direction
Start with the package metadata and the empty init.py, then follow the README Quickstart through a fresh install to confirm the PyPI package exposes the expected release contents. Next trace the layup bootstrap extraction path and verify that a clean run removes debias_hires2018.tgz from the cache; done means the first real package is usable and the archive is absent after extraction.
