About the package name

The instantKOM platform publishes scoped packages by default (@instantkom/cli,
@instantkom/mcp-server). This n8n node is intentionally published as the
unscoped n8n-nodes-instantkom, because n8n's Community Nodes catalog only
discovers packages that follow the n8n-nodes-* naming convention. Keeping the
unscoped name maximises discoverability inside the n8n UI.
