Ark is now Bam, with the approved textured red sticker and light matte pink icon.

  • App and menu branding, window titles, Little Bam, the start page, package names, and documentation use Bam.
  • The public repository is now aridutilh/bam; existing history and earlier releases remain intact.
  • Bundle/profile identifiers remain unchanged. This rename introduces no browser-data migration.
  • Build overrides now accept BAM_* names, retaining ARK_* and ORBIT_* compatibility.

All seven component suites passed. All five packaged runtime suites passed on the second run of the identical package, including 162 controller checks, 85 automatic-PiP checks and 207 feature checks. The first run stopped at a combined PiP return playback/focus assertion; its cause was not isolated and is recorded in VALIDATION.md.

Installed Bam passed strict signature and tested-executable checks. All 13 existing tabs, active page/Space, sidebar state and Split groups were retained. Native menus/About show Bam 0.5.4 (17). The existing Dock shortcut now targets Bam.app in the same position. Individual website logins were not explicitly retested.

Apple Silicon, macOS 14+. Locally signed, not notarized. Bam remains an independent browser prototype.
