fedec65 settles on a name: BetterCallMitCH

A second rebrand pass in quick succession suggests the fork is finding its own product identity, with a Swiss accent.

Shortly after rebadging the assistant as "Mitch", fedec65 went back through and swapped every user-facing label to "BetterCallMitCH" - across the interface, the four language packs (German, French, Italian, English), the system prompt the AI reads to set its tone, and the public docs. The plumbing underneath kept its old names; only what users see changed.

The odd capitalisation is the tell: "CH" is the country code for Switzerland, and the trilingual coverage lines up. Doing two rebrands in a row, in public, is the kind of thing a team does when they've stopped thinking of a fork as a contribution back to the parent project and started thinking of it as their own product.

So what For anyone tracking which Mike forks are drifting toward becoming standalone legal-AI products in their own markets, this one is signalling Switzerland.
