The launcher and studio ship as Retro Launcher and Retro Studio now,
from the RetroPortingToolKit org, so the old product name is gone from
display text, documentation and release asset filenames.
The split is by case, and it is not cosmetic. CamelCase RetComM was
always the product; lowercase retcomm and RETCOMM_ are identifiers --
the C++ namespace, the binaries, the data directories, the CMake and
environment variables, the Cloudflare service names, the readme markers.
Renaming those would orphan existing installs for no benefit, so they
are untouched: 1101 lowercase retcomm and 205 RETCOMM_ still stand in
the launcher alone.
Four things are deliberately still spelled RetComM, and three of them
would have been real breakage:
- RetComM-Data is CamelCase but it is a directory on disk --
<exe_dir>\RetComM-Data\{runtime,config,data} for a portable install.
Renaming it strands every portable user's config, toolchains and
catalog cache.
- TechnicallyComputers/RetComM-Launcher in readme_has_launcher() is the
historical half of a both-slugs test. Renaming it makes it a duplicate
of the line above and sends every port built before the transfer back
to reporting its launcher section missing.
- _LEGACY_LAUNCHER_RE matched "^## RetComM Launcher". A sweep renamed it,
which would have silently stopped it matching every README already out
there; it now accepts both headings.
- The portable-stub lookup gained the pre-rename filenames back as
fallbacks, because old zips stay on the releases page and a rollback
downloads one.
Release assets become Retro-Launcher-* / Retro-Studio-*. That is safe
for installed clients: pick_launcher_asset() gates on *linux*/*windows*/
*macos* plus extension and arch, not on the product name, and the
Windows portable stub is identified by its RCM1 trailer rather than its
filename.

Follow-on to #340, which moved the submodule URLs. Two things have changed since it merged.
The product is Retro now. The launcher and studio ship as Retro Launcher and Retro Studio, so the old name is gone from display text, docs and generated READMEs.
recomp-ui moved to the org.
mstan/recomp-ui→RetroPortingToolKit/recomp-ui, so the scaffolder defaults and docs follow it.psxrecompitself has not moved and is untouched.The split is by case, and it is not cosmetic
