Spec: Voculinux — Void Linux (glibc) Wayland/niri port of Vocalinux

What to build

Make the coming rename easy without changing any behaviour. Every user-visible identity string that is currently hardcoded in more than one place (application identity, system resource prefixes, autostart and tray identifiers, outbound user-agent) is driven from the existing single identity constants, or is added to a checked inventory of surfaces that only the rename ticket may touch. The application behaves, installs, and presents exactly as before; what changes is that the rename becomes a small set of deliberate flips instead of a scavenger hunt.

Acceptance criteria

  • No user-visible behaviour, name, path, or string changes anywhere; the full test, lint, and type gates pass.
  • Each previously duplicated user-visible identity surface resolves through one shared definition, verified by tests asserting the current values.
  • An offline inventory test enumerates the remaining rename surfaces (packaging metadata, desktop entry, site copy) so the rename ticket has a complete, checked list to flip.
  • The retained-internal-name surfaces (Python module name, upstream URLs) are recorded in the inventory as deliberately not renaming.

None (can start immediately).
