Hirael is a peer, not a replacement. shadcn/ui covers the canonical primitives: Button, Dialog, Select. Hirael ships the dense, real-world components every product still has to build: multi-select, tag input, year picker, combobox with async loading, password strength. Both registries use the same CLI and the same install URL pattern, so you can mix and match.
