## Features

- **auto-install dependencies after `webjs create`** ([#72](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/pull/72))
  `webjs create <name>` runs `<pm> install` inside the new directory by default. Pass `--no-install` to opt out. The package manager is detected from `npm_config_user_agent`, so pnpm / yarn / bun users get their own. The library-level `scaffoldApp(...)` default stays opt-in (`install: true` required) so tests and programmatic callers remain side-effect-free.

- **scaffold's next-steps banner reordered so the run command lands last** ([#72](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/pull/72))
  Previously the "Next steps:" block printed BEFORE the long AI-agent guidance, pushing the actionable `cd <name> && <pm> run dev` line off the visible terminal. New order: AI guidance prints first (long reading material), install runs, then the run command lands as the final output. Single copy-paste line.

## Fixes

- **scaffold's next-steps banner points at `npx webjsdev ui ...` instead of the broken `npx webjs ui ...`** ([#72](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/pull/72))
  The bare `webjs` npm name is owned by an unrelated package, so `npx webjs <cmd>` would fetch THAT package outside a scaffolded project. Switched both banner lines to the unscoped CLI alias `webjsdev`, which resolves to the same `webjs` binary via npx's single-bin fallback.

## Breaking

- **0.8.2's `wjs` bin alias was reverted in 0.8.3+** ([#72](https://github.com/webjsdev/webjs/pull/72))
  cli@0.8.2 briefly shipped with both `webjs` and `wjs` bin entries. cli@0.8.3 and later ship only `webjs`. Anyone who installed cli@0.8.2 and started typing `wjs <cmd>` should switch to `webjs <cmd>`. Behaviour is identical, only the command name differs. The unscoped `webjsdev` package now provides the no-scope global install path; the `wjs` namespace was blocked by npm's name-similarity filter.

## See also

`@webjsdev/cli@0.8.5` ships in lockstep with two new npm packages introduced in PR #72:
- [`create-webjs`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-webjs) for `npm create webjs@latest my-app` scaffolding
- [`webjsdev`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/webjsdev) as the unscoped CLI mirror for `npm i -g webjsdev`

Both auto-version-bump in lockstep with cli via `.github/workflows/release.yml`'s lockstep step.
