# Rename process

Finish the requested rename with the smallest verified set of changes. Use one coordinator working outside the directory being renamed. Keep existing approvals; ask only for missing decisions or authorization.

## Keep the scope small

- Touch only systems affected by the changed name or path. Keep unrelated Git pulls/rebases, cleanup, dependency updates, document reconciliation, and implementation separate.
- Preserve the existing repository, local work, ignored files, credentials, stashes, worktrees, and conversation identities. A repository split requires explicit scope for the new repository and its visibility/content.
- Keep product branding, domains, runtime/plugin identities, and historical documents unchanged unless their change is requested or necessary. Avoid bulk replacement of every old-name occurrence.
- Use current supported commands. Do not build a general migration framework, launch extra agents, or require a shutdown/database migration without a concrete need.
