The fork takes its own name everywhere a user can see it: binaries
(voculinux, voculinux-gui), desktop entry, autostart, tray, D-Bus
namespace (com.voculinux.Voculinux, no alias for the old name),
config/data/cache dirs, single-instance lock, IBus engine identity,
tray icons, resource prefixes, VOCULINUX_* environment names, and the
update-checker user agent. The internal Python module stays vocalinux
and the distribution metadata keeps the upstream URLs as provenance.
On first run a previous Vocalinux install's config.json, custom
dictionary, and portal restore token are copied once into the new
locations (new config always wins, no merge, no write-back); models
re-resolve through the pinned-checksum download path. An offline
naming-sweep test proves no old-name strings remain on user-visible
surfaces outside the allowlist.
Refs #18
The credential gate silently skipped the remote publish when
FLATPAK_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY / FLATPAK_REPO_TOKEN were unset, so the
documented auto-update remote could stay unpublished for releases at a
time (#951). Emit an Actions warning annotation and a run-summary entry
instead of a plain log line, and note in docs/FLATPAK_REMOTE.md that any
token with Contents write on the remote repo works.

* feat(flatpak): publish a signed self-hosted OSTree remote on releases (#785)
release.yml gains publish-flatpak-remote: it imports the per-arch
.flatpak bundles into an OSTree repo, signs commits and the summary
with a provisioned GPG key, regenerates static deltas and the
vocahq.flatpakrepo/index page, and pushes to VocaHQ/vocalinux-flatpak
served by GitHub Pages — the Homebrew-tap analogue, so installs
auto-update via flatpak update instead of per-release downloads.
The job is secret-gated like publish-aur (FLATPAK_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY +
FLATPAK_REPO_TOKEN) and skips itself while unconfigured. Prior repo
objects are pulled back in from gh-pages so clients get incremental
deltas. The manifest now declares branch: stable and the flatpakrepo
declares DefaultBranch=stable + RuntimeRepo for the Flathub GNOME
runtime.
Docs: new docs/FLATPAK_REMOTE.md (one-time setup, rotation,
verification); README, docs/INSTALL.md, packaging/flatpak/README.md
and the release notes now lead with the remote and keep release
bundles as the no-auto-update fallback. tests/test_release_integrity.py
pins the job's shape.
Closes#785
* fix(flatpak-remote): publish a .flatpakref and gate the remote to stable tags
- needs build-and-release so the remote cannot lead the GitHub Release
- stable tags only: prereleases must not reach `flatpak update`
- probe gh-pages before the empty-repo fallback: a transient checkout
failure no longer discards remote history
- publish com.vocalinux.Vocalinux.flatpakref (RuntimeRepo lives there, not
on .flatpakrepo) plus vocahq.gpg, so clean installs resolve the GNOME
runtime and key rotation works via remote-modify --gpg-import
- gate the release-notes remote instructions on the publish actually
running; the bundle path stays primary otherwise
- document rotation via remote-modify --gpg-import / remote-delete
--force and the explicit Flathub setup step
