Brand rename propagation: 'Cat Cafe' remnants across desktop installer, splash, launcher, docs #1106

Description

@mindfn

Problem

The brand rename from "Cat Cafe" to "Clowder AI" was partially applied — desktop/package.json productName and main.js window titles were updated, but many user-facing files still reference the old name.

Related: #1104 (exe name mismatch in Inno Setup, a subset of this issue)

Documentation

File Line(s) Change
desktop/README.md 1,3,151,153,218,239,240 Title, path examples, app names
docs/ROADMAP.md 8 Section title

What NOT to change

  • npm package names (cat-cafe-desktop, @cat-cafe/*) — internal identifiers
  • Directory names (.cat-cafe/, cat-cafe-skills/) — runtime paths
  • Git remote names and code-level identifiers

Root Cause

Brand rename to "Clowder AI" updated Electron config but not installer scripts, launcher, splash screen, or docs.
