Conclusion status
No confirmed conclusion exists for this pair. The evidence below is presented for
transparency; a relationship conclusion requires a human review that has not happened,
or a previous decision no longer matches the current evidence.
No directional succession or fork claim was found; the current evidence does not establish the researched relationship.
Seed context: Research question: did Yarn succeed Bower? Bower is deprecated; direction and strength of any claim is for the evidence to decide.
Observed repository facts

Versions & deployment facts
Official release and package declarations, compared independently of the relationship verdict.
These are not installation tests or a migration guarantee. Missing declarations mean unknown.
