refactor: rename internal variables

[Planeshifter]

Description

This pull request:

• Renames the local require('./main.js') binding in lib/index.js from the function name to main for @stdlib/stats/base/dists/t/mean, @stdlib/stats/base/dists/t/median, and @stdlib/stats/base/dists/t/mode, and updates the corresponding module.exports identifier. The exported function value is unchanged.

Namespace summary

• Namespace: @stdlib/stats/base/dists/t
• Members analyzed: 14 (cdf, ctor, entropy, kurtosis, logcdf, logpdf, mean, median, mode, pdf, quantile, skewness, stdev, variance); 0 autogenerated
• Features analyzed: file tree, package.json shape, README section list, manifest.json shape, test/benchmark/example file naming, lib/index.js internal-binding convention, lib/main.js JSDoc parameter types, module.exports identifier
• Feature passing the ≥75% majority threshold and yielding actionable outliers: lib/index.js local-variable name (main at 11/14 = 78.6%)
• Features excluded for falling below the threshold: presence of native C implementation (10/14 = 71.4%), gypfile in package.json (10/14 = 71.4%), ## C APIs README section (10/14 = 71.4%), @param {…} v JSDoc type (8/13 PositiveNumber vs 5/13 NonNegativeNumber — semantic, reflecting each moment's true domain of definition)

Per outlier package

@stdlib/stats/base/dists/t/mean

Rename the local require('./main.js') binding in lib/index.js from mean to main and update module.exports accordingly. Aligns with 11/14 sibling packages under stats/base/dists/t/* and 80.6% of stats/base/dists/*, matching the normalization applied in #12925 (stats/base/dists/lognormal/mean). Exported function is unchanged.

@stdlib/stats/base/dists/t/median

Rename the local require('./main.js') binding from median to main in lib/index.js and update the module.exports identifier accordingly. Aligns with the prevailing convention across stats/base/dists/t/* (11/14) and stats/base/dists/* (80.6%), matching the normalization applied in #12925 for stats/base/dists/lognormal/median. Exported function is unchanged.

@stdlib/stats/base/dists/t/mode

Rename the local require('./main.js') binding from mode to main in lib/index.js and update the corresponding module.exports identifier. Aligns with 11/14 sibling packages under stats/base/dists/t/* and 80.6% of stats/base/dists/*, matching the normalization landed in stats/base/dists/lognormal/mode (#12925). Exported function is unchanged.

Validation

• Structural extraction across all 14 members: file trees, package.json keys, README sections, manifest.json keys, test/benchmark/example file lists.
• Semantic extraction of lib/main.js and lib/index.js: public signatures, validation prologues, error-construction patterns, JSDoc shape, internal binding names.
• Three-agent drift validation (semantic review, cross-reference / impact, structural review): all three agents returned confirmed-drift for all three outliers. No tests, examples, benchmarks, REPL fixtures, TypeScript declarations, or the namespace aggregator depend on the local binding name; the change is purely cosmetic and propagates no behavior.
• Deliberately excluded from this PR:
  • Absence of native C implementation in cdf, ctor, logcdf, quantile (10/14 = 71.4%, below the 75% threshold).
  • Absence of Julia test fixtures in ctor (13/14 = 92.9%, threshold met) — ctor is the Distribution constructor and is structurally distinct from the moment/density packages, so the deviation is intentional.
  • @param {…} v JSDoc type inconsistency — reflects each moment's true mathematical domain of definition; not drift.

Disclosure

This PR was authored by Claude Code as part of an automated cross-package API drift detection routine. The drift was identified by structural and semantic feature extraction across the 14-member namespace, validated by a three-agent panel (semantic / cross-reference / structural), and applied as a mechanical rename. Findings, conformance percentages, and excluded candidates were reviewed before commit.
