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
* fix(installer): keep piped script on stdin and prompt via /dev/tty
`curl | bash` left bash reading the installer itself from stdin, and the
detection block's `exec < /dev/tty` (from #315) closed that pipe about 300
lines into a 3000-line script. curl died with error 23 writing to the
closed pipe, and bash read the rest of the installer from the terminal as
commands instead of finishing the script.
stdin now stays on the pipe and a reachable terminal is recorded in
TERMINAL_PROMPTS. Every interactive prompt goes through read_prompt, which
reads /dev/tty explicitly only for that read, so user input still works in
a terminal while the script body keeps flowing through the pipe. The
interactive-mode gate now checks TERMINAL_PROMPTS rather than `-t 0`,
which also lets `--interactive` work under a pipe.
Regression coverage: the remote-install gate's second run now pipes the
bootstrap in under a `script` pty (the literal `cat | bash` shape a
curl user takes), and new tests run install.sh in a pty with the script on
a pipe to assert the mode and engine prompts still answer on the terminal.
Fixes#933
* fix(installer): drain the piped bootstrap before the handoff exec
A curl|bash bootstrap leaves its unread tail on stdin; the tagged installer
reads its commands from a file, so nothing drained the pipe and a still-
streaming curl reported error 23 when the installer exited. Drain stdin to
EOF before exec (Greptile P2 on #935).
Gate: drip-feed the piped run so the producer is mid-write at the handoff
like real curl, and run it under pipefail so a producer killed early fails
the run. Tests: pass --tag so a slow release lookup cannot eat the window,
wait for the engine prompt before Ctrl+C, and quote the installer path.
* test(installer): propagate a killed producer's status in the piped gate
A cat dying mid-drip (SIGPIPE when the consumer abandons the pipe) was
swallowed by the loop and the final rm, so drip returned success and
pipefail could not see the download failure the arm exists to catch.

* ci(install): gate the remote install path end to end
A curl|bash user takes a different path than the local install gate
covers: bootstrap outside a checkout, tag selection, clone/fetch of the
selected tag, then handoff to the tagged installer with the original
arguments. Add scripts/install-remote-test.sh, which publishes HEAD as a
tag in a local mirror, runs install.sh against it twice (fresh clone,
then fetch+reset of the existing clone), and fails closed when the
clone's HEAD is not the selected tag commit. install.sh gains a
VOCALINUX_REPO_URL override so the mirror can stand in for the public
remote. Wire a single-distro job into the distro matrix and a just
remote-install-gate recipe.
Refs #701
* ci(install): publish the gate tag as an orphan from HEAD's tree
CI checks out with fetch-depth 1, and git refuses to push or fetch a
shallow boundary commit into a ref. Build the tag on an orphan commit
created from HEAD's tree instead, and make tree equality the fail-closed
check that installer, modules and exports are this commit's files.
* test(install): force the re-run arm to prove fetch and reset
Review feedback on the remote-install gate: the second run reused a clone
already on the tag, so a broken fetch or reset would still pass. Move the
clone onto a descendant commit and delete its local tag ref before the
re-run, so only a real fetch + reset restores them. Also list the new
recipe in AGENTS.md's command guide.
