CivicPlus holds the registered CivicClerk(R) mark for a product in the same
category (agenda/meeting management, acquired from BoardSync). Rename the
module's public name to CivicMeetings before any public-facing push.

Scope - brand layer only:

  • 483 display-form replacements across 140 living files (READMEs, USER-MANUAL,
    docs, UI strings, installer title, scripts, and the tests that pin doc text).
  • Machine identifiers unchanged: the civicclerk Python package, DB schema,
    CIVICCLERK_* env vars, and the /health service id. Existing installs and
    pinned consumers are unaffected. Identifier migration is deliberately
    deferred to the next release cascade.
  • 28 historical records intentionally keep the CivicClerk name they shipped
    under: ADRs, audit + browser-QA evidence packs, prior CHANGELOG entries, and
    the hash-bound v1.0.4 docs snapshot (docs/index.html).
  • CHANGELOG [Unreleased] and both READMEs disclose the rename.
  • GitHub repo renamed civicclerk -> civicmeetings (redirects active).

Verified locally: full pytest = same pass/fail set as pristine main (the only
run-to-run difference is a pre-existing flaky trio of timestamp-ordering
persistence tests that flakes identically on pristine main; verified by 3x
isolated runs on both branches). No workflow job ids or required check
contexts changed.

Independent diff review caught misclassifications the path rules missed:
- docs/architecture/ADR-0001-mvp-boundary.md - an accepted, dated ADR living
  outside docs/adr/ (record fidelity: keeps the name it was decided under)
- docs/screenshots/{cc1-cleanroom-freeze,backup-restore-docs,v1-playwright}-
  summary.md - dated browser-QA observation records; two described
  docs/index.html and became factually false after the rename (that page is
  hash-bound and still titled CivicClerk)
- docs/ops/tier1-retrofit-ledger.md - a ledger whose own text says it does
  not rewrite history; also restores consistency with its untouched .json twin
- docs/process/5-lens-self-audit.md - a dated incident citation
- prompts/{minutes_draft,staff_report_normalizer}.yaml - persona text is
  version-bearing (minutes provenance pins prompt_version 0.1.0); renaming it
  without a version bump silently reassociates prior drafts. Deferred to the
  Phase 2 identifier migration with a proper version bump.

Verified: full pytest 26 failed / 644 passed with every failure name-diffed
into the documented pre-existing local-infra baseline + known-flaky trio;
zero rename-attributable failures.
