Brings the tree in line with the repository rename to AetherAI3/agent-browser, and replaces the
logo with a real transparent PNG.

Naming

Was Now
Aether Browser Agent Browser
aether_browser (package) agent_browser
aether-browser (distribution) agent-browser
AETHER_BROWSER_* (env prefix) AGENT_BROWSER_*
aether (in-container account) agent
ops/runner/aether-browser-*.{service,slice} ops/runner/agent-browser-*

Deliberately not renamed: the AetherAI3 org, the "Aether AI" vendor name, and the VPS6
infrastructure identities (aether-vps6-browser-01, aether-ci-browser01), which are external
identities rather than product naming.

AGENT_BROWSER_* is a breaking change for anyone who set the old variables. That is intended at
v0.1.0-rc.1 and is recorded in the new changelog.

Logo

The old assets/aether-browser-logo.jpg was a JPEG with a transparency checkerboard and a
dashed border painted into its pixels
— a JPEG cannot carry alpha, so GitHub rendered that
checkerboard as a literal grey-and-black frame around the logo.

The replacement assets/agent-browser-logo.png is rebuilt from the original artwork:

  • background flood-filled to a genuine alpha channel and the painted border removed;
  • cropped to the artwork bounds;
  • box-downsampled 2x and the palette flattened to 64 colours, which clears the JPEG ringing that
    had smeared the pixel-art edges;
  • 111 KB, down from 1.48 MB — and it was committed twice (README + Pages copy), so this takes
    roughly 2.8 MB out of the published source tarball.

Repo polish

  • CHANGELOG.md added (Keep a Changelog / SemVer) and linked from the README nav.
  • pyproject.toml gains [project.urls], keywords, and classifiers; author is now "Aether AI".
  • .gitignore now covers the local .release-downloads/ evidence directory.
  • README shows "by Aether AI" under the title.

Expected gate behaviour

The strict release gate will fail exact-commit-evidence once this lands on main, because the
runtime-to-tip diff is no longer evidence-only. That is by design: this commit becomes the new
runtime commit
, and a fresh evidence capture follows in a separate evidence-only PR, exactly as
the previous cycle worked. PR checks (quality, unit, security, change-map) should be green.

The repository is now AetherAI3/agent-browser, so bring every name in the
tree in line with it:

- display name "Aether Browser" becomes "Agent Browser", with "by Aether
  AI" shown under the README title;
- the Python package moves from aether_browser to agent_browser and the
  distribution becomes agent-browser;
- the runtime environment prefix moves from AETHER_BROWSER_* to
  AGENT_BROWSER_*;
- the in-container service account moves from aether to agent;
- the runner unit and slice templates are renamed to match.

The org name AetherAI3, the "Aether AI" vendor name, and the VPS6
infrastructure identities are deliberately left alone.

Replace the logo with a real transparent PNG. The previous file was a
JPEG with a transparency checkerboard and a dashed border painted into
its pixels, which rendered as a grey-and-black frame on GitHub. The
replacement is an 848x904 PNG with a genuine alpha channel, the painted
border removed, and the palette flattened to 64 colours to clear JPEG
ringing: 111 KB against 1.48 MB, committed once for the README and once
for the Pages copy.

Also add a changelog, package URLs, keywords and classifiers, and ignore
the local .release-downloads/ evidence directory.

The strict release gate will fail exact-commit-evidence on this commit
because the runtime-to-tip diff is no longer evidence-only. That is
expected: this commit becomes the new runtime commit and a fresh
evidence capture follows it.
