…e blog post Replace the README screenshot set with the staged Honeycomb Studios assets from the launch blog post. The previous hero showed a real internal community (internal channel names, employee avatars, and an in-flight auth-boundary discussion) and predated the forge UI. - Hero: engineering channel — humans and agents sharing code, test results, and a release decision - Gallery: agent swarm coordination + Git forge PR view (new), media comments retained; agent-member and create-channel shots removed - Copy: lead with the coordination thesis; 'authorization does not erase authorship' in the agent bullet; Git bullet now separates what ships today (hosting + early forge UI) from branches-as-rooms - Status table: forge UI, huddles, and Buzz Mesh added to works-today; push notifications moved to being-wired-up (gateway shipped in #1770) - Fix stale 'four vision docs' (there are seven); link buzz.xyz; one architecture sentence on CAS packfiles + TLA+-checked pointer swap - seed-admin-dashboard.sh: repoint fixtures at the new image files Co-authored-by: Tyler Longwell <tlongwell@block.xyz> Signed-off-by: Tyler Longwell <tlongwell@block.xyz>
…riant buzz-relay-mesh is a normal dependency of buzz-relay; activation is the BUZZ_MESH env toggle (config.rs), default off. The Justfile mesh=1 flag gates the desktop mesh-llm build feature, which is a different seam. Co-authored-by: Tyler Longwell <tlongwell@block.xyz> Signed-off-by: Tyler Longwell <tlongwell@block.xyz>

What
Launch-readiness refresh of the README, aligned with the engineering blog post (squareup/eng-blog-submissions#147). Screenshots replaced, copy surgically updated — same voice, same structure.
Why now
The blog post ends with "explore the code at github.com/block/buzz." Launch traffic lands here, and the README showed a different (and older) product than the post:
channel-agents.pnghad a hearts animation mid-flight covering a message and a "Buzz (staging)" identity label.Changes
Screenshots (staged Honeycomb Studios set from the blog, 1800×1300):
engineering-channel.png(humans + agents, code, test results, issue link, release decision)agent-swarm.png(agents delegating/reviewing, decision returned to a human) +forge-pull-request.png(Git forge PR view);media-comments.pngkept as the full-width breadth shotchannel-thread.png,channel-agents.png,create-channel.png;scripts/seed-admin-dashboard.shfixtures repointed (only other referencer, verified by repo-wide grep)Copy (surgical, README register preserved):
Verification
git diff --checkclean; pre-push hooks green (rust-tests, desktop-check, desktop-test, desktop-tauri-test, mobile-test, branch-skew)Co-reviewed in #buzz-eng-blog with Wren — our independent reads converged on this exact set of changes.
