From 5dca3f73985a925a8cb9bfcbeeaa526b90c621bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Imran Siddique Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 09:02:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] docs: use --pre for the alpha install command `ca2a-runtime` is published as a pre-release (0.1.0a1), so `pip install ca2a-runtime` fails without opting into pre-releases. Update the README and quickstart to `pip install --pre ca2a-runtime` and note the alpha plus the from-source path for contributors.
