Owner

Glass Launcher becomes its own app. The app ID is now tv.glass.launcher, the TV label is "Glass", the version restarts at 1.0.0, and it ships with a new icon and TV banner. Every BareLauncher name is gone from the repo.

Area	Change
App identity	`applicationId` and `namespace` set to `tv.glass.launcher`. Java package and source folders moved to `tv/glass/launcher`. Version 1.0.0, code 1
Names	App label "Glass", debug label "Glass Debug", and "Glass Launcher" in every setting, toast, log tag, class name, comment and doc. The `barelauncher/` folder is now `glasslauncher/`
Stored data	Prefs file `glass_launcher`, ADB key files `glasslauncher_adbkey`, backup header `GLBK`, app-list cache header `GLAC`, suggested backup file `glasslauncher-settings.txt`
Icon	The adaptive icon is a frosted 5:3 glass card over a sea-glass orb, drawn as vectors. The background is a gradient vector, replacing the old color resource
Banner	`drawable/banner.xml` is a vector with the same artwork and a "Glass" wordmark from the Outfit font (OFL), outlined into paths. It replaces the blank 320x180 PNG
Raster fallbacks	`scripts/render_launcher_icons.py` draws the legacy mipmap PNGs from the same geometry and regenerates the banner (`--font` points at the Outfit TTF)
Docs	README, CHANGELOG (new 1.0.0 entry), NOTICE and the release workflow use the new names, paths and `GlassLauncher.apk`. LICENSE names the original author, mithun.ys / pixel, plus namillis

Because the app ID changed, Glass installs next to BareLauncher instead of updating it. Old BareLauncher backups can't be restored, and the Google TV Home setup asks for the debugging authorization once more.

Checked

testDebugUnitTest: 182 tests, 0 failures.
lintDebug: 0 errors. The only new warning is VectorRaster on the 320x180 banner, which is just above lint's 200x200 icon size hint.
assembleDebug and assembleRelease (R8) both build. aapt2 dump badging on the release APK reports package tv.glass.launcher 1.0.0, label Glass, and the vector icon and banner.
I rendered the icon and banner vectors to SVG and checked them against the script's PNG output.

Not in this PR

The v1.0.0 release with GlassLauncher.apk. Until it exists, the README's download links have no file to serve.
The 10 BareLauncher releases copied into this repo are still here.
Downloader code 2592344 still points at the old repo.

feat: Rename to Glass Launcher with a new icon f03dd09789

Glass Launcher is a new app: app ID tv.glass.launcher, label "Glass",
version 1.0.0. Every BareLauncher name is gone from code, resources,
docs, storage keys, backup and cache formats, and ADB key files, so it
installs next to the old launcher instead of updating it.

The new adaptive icon is a frosted 5:3 glass card over a sea-glass orb.
The TV banner is a vector with the same artwork and an Outfit wordmark.
scripts/render_launcher_icons.py draws the PNG fallbacks and the banner
from the same geometry.
