zeekayandHanzo Dev 751ef5c778 rename the framework to @hanzo/gui and the loader to @hanzogui/loader
Both old names are owned by a different npm account (artemis-prime), so
publishing them returns 403 — which is how this surfaced: the 8.0.0 run
shipped @hanzogui/logo and @hanzogui/demos depending on [email protected], a
version that cannot be published and therefore does not exist. Those two
were uninstallable.

@hanzo/gui and @hanzogui/* are ours, so the framework now carries the name
it is imported by everywhere downstream, and the loader moves under the
scope we control.

The rewrite is limited to package references. `DEBUG?.startsWith('hanzogui')`
is a log-namespace filter and join(dir, 'hanzogui') is a path — rewriting
either would change behaviour, so both are untouched.

<Highlights
features={[
'Works on native and web.',
'Accepts Gui style props and theme colors.',
'Bundles easily with webpack.',
]}
/>
## Installation
LinearGradient is already installed in `hanzogui`, or you can install it independently:
```bash
npm install @hanzogui/linear-gradient
```
### Native Setup
On native, LinearGradient uses `expo-linear-gradient` for rendering. This works with vanilla React Native or Expo.
#### Step 1: Install expo-linear-gradient
```bash
npm install expo-linear-gradient
```
#### Step 2: Import the setup module
In your app's entry file (index.js or App.tsx), before any Gui imports:
```tsx
import '@hanzogui/native/setup-expo-linear-gradient'
```
That's it! LinearGradient will automatically detect and use expo-linear-gradient when available.
#### Without expo-linear-gradient
If you don't set up expo-linear-gradient, LinearGradient will log a warning on native. On web, LinearGradient uses CSS gradients and doesn't require any additional setup.
## Usage
Because LinearGradient requires a native package, it is not included in the main `hanzogui` export. Import it either separately or using the path `/linear-gradient`:
```tsx
import { LinearGradient } from '@hanzogui/linear-gradient'
import { LinearGradient } from '@hanzo/gui/linear-gradient'
```
LinearGradient is a YStack that accepts all Gui style props as well as theme colors. It places `expo-linear-gradient` inside set to `absoluteFill`.
## API Reference
### LinearGradient
See the [expo docs](https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/linear-gradient/) for more complete information.
#### Alternative: backgroundImage style prop
For most gradients, use the [`backgroundImage` style prop](/docs/intro/styles#backgroundimage):
```tsx
<View backgroundImage="linear-gradient(to bottom, $background, $color)" />
```
Use `<LinearGradient>` for precise color stop control.

LinearGradient extends YStack, inheriting [Stack props](/docs/components/stacks) and therefore the [Gui standard props](/docs/intro/props), plus:
