This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Refactor: Rename repository from StringyMcStringFace to stringy</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Context

The current repository name StringyMcStringFace presents several challenges:

• It's unnecessarily long and difficult to type
• It lacks professionalism for a production library
• It creates friction in development workflows (CLI commands, imports, etc.)

A shorter, more concise name stringy will improve usability and maintainability.

Impact

This rename will affect multiple areas of the project:

Repository & Configuration

• GitHub repository name and URL
• Remote git URLs for contributors
• CI/CD pipeline configurations
• Package registry references

Documentation

• README.md and all markdown files
• API documentation
• Contributing guides
• License headers

Code References

• Package/module names
• Import statements
• Configuration files (package.json, setup.py, etc.)
• Build scripts and tooling

External References

• Published packages on registries (npm, PyPI, etc.)
• Dependency declarations in downstream projects
• Links in blog posts, tutorials, or external documentation

Proposed Solution

1. Pre-rename preparation:

   • Audit all files containing the old name
   • Notify users and contributors of the upcoming change
   • Document migration steps for downstream users

2. GitHub repository rename:

   • Use GitHub's repository settings to rename
   • GitHub will automatically redirect old URLs

3. Update codebase:

   • Replace all instances of StringyMcStringFace with stringy
   • Update package/module names
   • Update documentation and references
   • Update CI/CD configurations

4. Post-rename tasks:

   • Publish new version to package registries
   • Update contributors' local remotes
   • Deprecate old package names (if applicable)
   • Update external references where possible

Checklist

• Audit codebase for name references
• Update package/module names
• Update all documentation
• Update CI/CD configurations
• Rename GitHub repository
• Publish updated packages
• Notify community of changes
• Update external references

Breaking Change Notice

⚠️ This is a breaking change that will require downstream users to update their dependencies and references.</issue_description>

<agent_instructions>The repository itself has been renamed, so now we just need to make changes to the entire codebase to remove any mention of StringyMcStringface. We don't even want to leave references to the fact that it used to be called that.</agent_instructions>
