foolish-bandit teaches Gary to talk like a lawyer

The fork swaps "Project" for "Matter" everywhere a user can see it - the term of art every practicing lawyer actually uses.

Across the chat breadcrumbs, the assistant headers, the document explorer, the review filters and a sweep of modals, foolish-bandit has replaced every user-facing "Project" with "Matter" - the standard label for a discrete legal engagement. It's a label-layer change only: the underlying routes and identifiers in the code still say "project", so anyone digging through the codebase later will see the old vocabulary.

This is the same instinct behind Gary's earlier de-jargoning passes: meet lawyers in their own language rather than making them learn the engineers'. The substitution is mechanical and tightly scoped to copy, which means other forks targeting the same audience can lift it without much friction.

So what If your fork is aimed at practicing lawyers rather than legal-curious technologists, this is a cheap, high-signal change worth borrowing.
