+
+This post-release updates the package presentation and release metadata for the
+stable ExcelAlchemy 2.0 line without changing the core import/export behavior.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Added a dedicated PyPI-friendly long description via `README-pypi.md`
+- Switched package metadata to use the PyPI-specific README
+- Replaced relative README assets with PyPI-safe absolute image and document links
+- Tuned Codecov status behavior for large release PRs and compatibility shim files
+
 ## [2.0.0] - 2026-03-28
 
 This release promotes the validated 2.0 release candidate to the first stable public

+# ExcelAlchemy
+
+Schema-driven Python library for typed Excel import/export workflows with Pydantic and locale-aware workbooks.
+
+ExcelAlchemy turns Pydantic models into typed workbook contracts:
+
+- generate Excel templates from code
+- validate uploaded workbooks
+- map failures back to rows and cells
+- render workbook-facing output in `zh-CN` or `en`
+- keep storage pluggable through `ExcelStorage`
+

+
+### Import Result
+
+![Excel import result screenshot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RayCarterLab/ExcelAlchemy/main/images/portfolio-import-result-en.png)
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install ExcelAlchemy
+```
+
+Optional Minio support:
+
+```bash
+pip install "ExcelAlchemy[minio]"
+```
+
+## Minimal Example
+
+```python
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+
+from excelalchemy import ExcelAlchemy, FieldMeta, ImporterConfig, Number, String
+
+
+class Importer(BaseModel):
+    age: Number = FieldMeta(label='Age', order=1)
+    name: String = FieldMeta(label='Name', order=2)
+
+
+alchemy = ExcelAlchemy(ImporterConfig(Importer, locale='en'))
+template = alchemy.download_template_artifact(filename='people-template.xlsx')
+
+excel_bytes = template.as_bytes()
+```
+
+## Modern Annotated Example
+
+```python
+from typing import Annotated
+
+from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
+
+from excelalchemy import Email, ExcelAlchemy, ExcelMeta, ImporterConfig
+
+
+class Importer(BaseModel):
+    email: Annotated[
+        Email,
+        Field(min_length=10),
+        ExcelMeta(label='Email', order=1, hint='Use your work email'),
+    ]
+
+
+alchemy = ExcelAlchemy(ImporterConfig(Importer, locale='en'))
+template = alchemy.download_template_artifact(filename='people-template.xlsx')
+```
+
+## Why ExcelAlchemy
+
+- Pydantic v2-based schema extraction and validation
+- locale-aware workbook comments and result workbooks
+- pluggable storage instead of a hard-coded backend
+- `openpyxl`-based runtime path without pandas
+- contract tests, Ruff, and Pyright in the development workflow

+当前稳定发布版本是 `2.0.0.post1`，也就是 ExcelAlchemy 2.0 稳定线的首个 post-release 更新。
