feat(desktop): brand the fork build as Chromeria - #12
Merged

Conversation
Name the stable desktop build Chromeria with its own bundle id (md.toolbox.chromeria), Electron userData directory and icon set, so it installs and runs beside upstream T3 Code. Threads stay in the shared T3 home (~/.t3 or T3CODE_HOME). Desktop builds no longer embed a GitHub update feed, so the updater can never replace Chromeria with an upstream T3 Code release.

The #12 branding points production web favicons at assets/chromeria/, but two brand-assets tests still expected the upstream production icons. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The fork's desktop build installed as upstream "T3 Code (Alpha)": same name, bundle id, userData directory and update feed, so it could not run beside the upstream app and its updater could replace it with an upstream release.
This names the stable desktop build Chromeria with its own identity and icon, and stops embedding any update feed.
Changes
Chromeria(bundleChromeria.app, window titles, menus, About panel, DMG title, macOS screen-capture prompt). Nightly/dev labels keep their upstream names.md.toolbox.chromeria; artifacts namedChromeria-<version>-<arch>.<ext>.~/Library/Application Support/chromeria(upstream holds a single-instance lock ont3code, so sharing it would stop Chromeria starting while T3 Code runs).assets/chromeria/chromeria-icon-1024.pngis the source; the build derivesicon.icnsandicon.pngfrom it withsips/iconutil(existing pipeline). Committed derived assets: Windows.ico, webfavicon.ico(16/32/48),favicon-16x16.png,favicon-32x32.png,apple-touch-icon180px. Stable web builds use these via theproductionweb brand.createBuildConfigno longer adds a GitHubpublishconfig (it resolved to the upstream release repo). Without it the app ships noapp-update.yml, andDesktopUpdatesreports "no update feed is configured". The mock-update path for local testing is unchanged.T3CODE_HOMEif set, else~/.t3, with state in<home>/userdata(apps/desktop/src/app/DesktopStatePaths.ts).
