Merged

Conversation
`req` conflicts with an existing Homebrew formula (andrewpillar/req, an HTTP scripting language). `breq` is unique, follows the same naming pattern as `bai` (b + product abbreviation), and reads naturally. - Binary: req → breq (cmd/req/ → cmd/breq/) - Config dir: ~/.req → ~/.breq - Env var: REQ_INSTALL_DIR → BREQ_INSTALL_DIR - goreleaser: all ids, archive names, nfpm paths, Homebrew cask - install.sh, Makefile, Dockerfile, README, AGENTS.md updated Go module path (github.com/bluefunda/bluerequests) unchanged.
