CodeWhale v0.8.47 Moves Config to ~/.codewhale

What changed upstream

• GitHub Releases now marks v0.8.47 as latest on the canonical Hmbown/CodeWhale repository, dated May 27, 2026.
• The rebrand contract is still explicit: codewhale / codewhale-tui remain canonical, while legacy deepseek / deepseek-tui binaries are temporary deprecation shims scheduled to disappear in v0.9.0.
• The primary user config home has moved: the current README says user config is now ~/.codewhale/config.toml, with ~/.deepseek/config.toml only as a legacy fallback.
• The project-overlay path moved too: workspace overrides now live at <workspace>/.codewhale/config.toml, while <workspace>/.deepseek/config.toml is legacy compatibility only.
• Docker persistence moved with the rename: current README examples mount a named codewhale-home volume to /home/codewhale/.codewhale, not /home/codewhale/.deepseek.
• Skill discovery and bundled system skills now document the new home explicitly: global lookup includes ~/.codewhale/skills, with ~/.deepseek/skills still listed as legacy compatibility.

Practical setup guidance

1. The stable reference point should now be v0.8.47, not v0.8.43.
2. Setup pages should teach ~/.codewhale as the primary config and skill home, while labeling ~/.deepseek as a fallback for older installs.
3. Docker examples should mount codewhale-home:/home/codewhale/.codewhale so credentials, sessions, and config persist in the current path.
4. Pages that explain DeepSeek TUI as a reusable developer environment should mention the new home-directory migration, not only the CodeWhale rename.
