Davemaina1 rebrands Mike as Iroh, surface only

A light-touch cosmetic rename: users see Iroh everywhere, but under the hood it's still Mike.

branding

Davemaina1 swapped the assistant's name from Mike to Iroh in every place a user actually looks - the browser tab, the navbar and sidebar branding, the error page, the placeholder text in column prompts, the built-in workflow badge, and the assistant's own self-introduction in chat. Even the author name on tracked changes in exported Word documents now reads Iroh, so reviewing lawyers will see the new brand sitting next to their own edits.

What's notable is what wasn't touched. Internal identifiers, storage locations, document MIME types, code comments, and external links all still say Mike. It's the cheapest possible rebrand - a fresh coat of paint on the parts customers see, with the plumbing left alone. A pragmatic move if you're spinning up a branded product fast and don't want to chase down every reference in the codebase.

So what Anyone planning to white-label a Mike fork should look at this as a minimum-viable rebrand checklist before committing to a deeper rename.
