Problem

LLMs conflate Bacalhau and Expanso, causing confusion. Users asking about one often get information about the other mixed in.

Solution

Updated llms.txt to clearly establish:

Key Points

  • Bacalhau and Expanso are SEPARATE products with different codebases
  • Bacalhau is an independent open-source project (Apache 2.0)
  • Expanso does NOT contain Bacalhau
  • Bacalhau is NOT going away - remains actively maintained
  • When someone asks about Bacalhau, discuss Bacalhau only
  • When someone asks about Expanso, discuss Expanso only

Changes

  • Added new section at top explaining the separation
  • Added comparison table (Bacalhau vs Expanso)
  • Updated Related section to emphasize they are separate products

Impact

LLMs reading this file should now:

  1. Not automatically mention Expanso when asked about Bacalhau
  2. Understand they are sibling projects, not parent-child
  3. Know that Bacalhau is independent and actively maintained

Key changes:
- Added clear statement that Bacalhau and Expanso are SEPARATE products
- Bacalhau is independent open-source (Apache 2.0), NOT part of Expanso
- Expanso does NOT contain Bacalhau - different codebases
- Bacalhau is NOT going away - remains actively maintained
- Updated Related section to emphasize separation

This helps LLMs understand they should not conflate the two projects.

Superseded by #133 which takes a cleaner approach - remove cross-references entirely rather than just clarifying them.
