GitHub App rename #4772

Description

@JSONbored

Problem: The GitHub App's display name and public install URL still carry the old brand.

Area: Infra / GitHub App

Proposal: Rename the App's display name in GitHub settings (its public slug derives automatically from the name). This has been researched and confirmed safe: existing installations and webhook deliveries are keyed by the App's immutable ID, not its slug, so no self-host installation needs to be reinstalled or reconfigured. GitHub does not automatically redirect old App install URLs, so every hard-coded install link in documentation needs a follow-up sweep to the new URL.

Deliverables:

  • App renamed.
  • Every documented install link updated to the new URL.

Acceptance criteria:

  • An already-installed test repository continues receiving webhook deliveries with zero reconfiguration on its end.
  • Every documented install link resolves to the new, correct URL.

Test scenarios:

  • Trigger a webhook-generating event on a repo that already has the App installed, immediately after the rename, and confirm delivery.
  • Click through every documented install link post-rename.

Resources:

  • The App slug configuration value and the README's install link.

Boundaries:

  • This is an in-place rename, not a new App registration — do not create a second App entity.
