 # Scoped Deps
 
 A simple dependency injection library built on Zones.
 
+## Status: vendored, no longer published by Shorebird
+
+Felix Angelov wrote this package in 2023 (originally `package:scoped`) so that
+our packages could share one dependency-injection mechanism. We published it to
+pub.dev in 2024 in case it was useful to others, then never needed to change it
+again.
+
+In 2026, Morgan Hunt ([`mrgnhnt96/scoped_deps`][mrgnhnt_repo]) approached us
+about taking over the pub.dev package and continuing to improve it, and we
+accepted. **[`scoped_deps` on pub.dev][pub_package] is now his**, and its
+versions have diverged from this directory.
+
+Shorebird packages keep using this vendored copy, resolved through the Dart
+workspace rather than from pub.dev. The code hasn't meaningfully changed in two
+years, so there's nothing to gain from moving right now. At some point we should
+look at where the pub.dev package has evolved to and consider deleting this copy
+in favor of it.
