What changed

The README credits paragraph said Biorouter is not a fork of Goose and then described where its source code came from. That read as defensive and repeated itself. It now says only that the design was inspired by the agents listed below and that Block's Goose was a major influence.

The same wording is applied in the other places that carried the old sentence:

  • README.md
  • GOVERNANCE.md
  • landing/README.md and landing/about.html
  • docs/research/coding-agent-landscape/goose.md

Left alone

  • NOTICE: this is legal attribution text, and the Block, Inc. lines stay as written.
  • GOOSE_ environment variable prefixes and other functional identifiers.
  • Feature comparisons with Goose in the research and history docs.

Five one line changes, docs and landing copy only. Checked before pushing: the landing consistency, docs privacy and registry checks, the Crew manual dash rule test, and the docs lint step that CI runs.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The README credits paragraph denied a Goose fork and described the project's
origin, which read as defensive and repeated itself. It now says only that the
design was inspired by the agents listed below and that Block's Goose was a
major influence. GOVERNANCE.md, landing/README.md, landing/about.html and the
Goose research page get the same wording. NOTICE is unchanged.
