 This project was renamed from `discord-maestro` / `Maestro-Discord`. To smooth upgrades:
 
-- The `maestro-discord` binary is preserved as an alias of `maestro-relay`. Existing scripts that call `maestro-discord send …` keep working unchanged.
+- The legacy `maestro-discord` / `maestro-bridge` binaries have been retired; install + upgrade now scrub any leftover symlinks. Update any scripts that invoke them to `maestro-relay send …`.
 - All `DISCORD_*` env vars are unchanged. New optional `ENABLED_PROVIDERS` defaults to `discord`.
 - The SQLite database upgrades automatically on first start: `agent_channels` gains a `provider` column (existing rows default to `discord`); `agent_threads` is renamed to `discord_agent_threads` with rows preserved. No manual migration needed.
 - The HTTP `/api/send` endpoint accepts an optional `provider` field that defaults to `discord`; existing callers are unaffected.

 Maestro agents can push messages into chat using the `maestro-relay` CLI (or any HTTP client). The bridge exposes a local HTTP API on `127.0.0.1:API_PORT` (default 3457).
 
-The legacy binary name `maestro-discord` is preserved as an alias of `maestro-relay` and is fully equivalent.

 ## Setup
 
 The API server starts automatically with the bridge. Port is configurable via `API_PORT` in `.env`.
