foolish-bandit teaches Gary to say Matter, not Project

A clean, UI-wide rename swaps generic-software language for the word law firms actually use to organise their work.

branding

foolish-bandit went through the interface and replaced "Project" with "Matter" everywhere a user can see it - breadcrumbs, sidebar headers, tab labels in the review screens, filter menus, and the assistant panel. "Project Explorer" is now "Matter Documents"; "Project Assistant" becomes "Matter Assistant." It's consistent enough that the product no longer reads like a generic dev tool dressed up for lawyers.

Worth knowing: this is a label change only. The underlying web addresses and links still use the old "projects" wording, so saved bookmarks and anything wired into the back end keep working unchanged. Nothing about how the data is stored or routed moved.

So what If you're weighing Mike for a law-firm rollout, small vocabulary choices like this are what make legal users feel the tool was built for them - and this fork shows how cheaply that fit can be bought.
