Product naming migration

Authoritative source: AetherContracts. This page is mirrored into the unified AetherIoT documentation.

AetherIoT is the umbrella project for AetherEdge, AetherCloud, and AetherContracts. The edge product and repository formerly named AetherIot move to EvanL1/AetherEdge.

AetherContracts v0.1.0-alpha.3 is immutable and intentionally retains the historical AetherIot name in its signed, digest-pinned release artifacts. Consumers must not rewrite those bytes. The v0.1.0-alpha.4 source uses the AetherEdge display name while preserving every protocol, Schema, TCK, package, and failure-code identifier unless a separate versioned contract decision says otherwise.

Repository renaming is not protocol evolution and does not change conformance status. The latest published release is v0.1.0-alpha.3. Alpha.4 is an unpublished development target, remains experimental, and is not a production CloudLink cutover.

Protocol and rollout changes from the published alpha.3 baseline to the alpha.4 development target are tracked separately in docs/migrations/alpha3-to-alpha4.md.
