The product was rebranded from ".NET Aspire" to "Aspire" in late 2024. Update current, user-facing references in docs, CLI suggestion strings, extension README, telemetry docs, and a pipeline comment. Historical CHANGELOG.md entries are intentionally left unchanged as they reflect the product name at release time. Identifier values (e.g. the containerapp-dotnet telemetry value and *_DOTNET_APPHOST_* env-var names) are unchanged to preserve compatibility.
