Summary

The README told readers to run pip install sun-track. That package does not exist on PyPI — https://pypi.org/pypi/sun-track/json returns 404 — so the documented install command could never have worked. Replaced with the git+ form, which is what the headlessmode site already publishes for this tool.

The "Requires Python 3.11 or newer" statement is unchanged. The only other pip install in the file is the editable dev install (.[dev]), which is correct and untouched. No badges or other PyPI references exist.

Test plan

  • curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" https://pypi.org/pypi/sun-track/json → 404 (the finding, re-verified before editing).
  • Ran the replacement command in a throwaway venv: pip install git+https://github.com/Back-Road-Creative/sun-track → Successfully installed sun-track-0.1.0.

sun-track is not published on PyPI (pypi.org/pypi/sun-track/json returns 404); pip install sun-track cannot work. Point the README's install command at the git+https form, which installs successfully today.
