73 references in 38 files. Plan: (1) move the folder, (2) rewrite package.json names/deps, (3) rewrite imports with a single sed over the two src trees, (4) fix tsconfig.base.json paths, (5) typecheck everything, (6) add a changeset marking the rename as a major.

  "content": "---\n\"@acme/core\": major\n---\n\nRenamed `@acme/utils-legacy` to `@acme/core`. Update imports: `import { x } from '@acme/core'`.\n"
}

Claude

Rename complete: 0 remaining references, all three packages typecheck, lockfile updated, changeset added as a major bump for @acme/core.

One thing I did not do on purpose: publish a deprecation stub for @acme/utils-legacy on the registry. If anything outside this repo depends on it, you’ll want npm deprecate with a pointer to the new name.
