 MODEL: GPT-5.3-codex
-REASONING: medium
+REASONING: high
 
 TASK:
-Apply PR 11.35.
+Apply PR 11.37.
 
-Update tool descriptions for:
-- Vector Asset Studio
-- Vector Map Editor
+Perform a deep rename:
+Vector Asset Studio -> SVG Asset Studio
 
-Ensure descriptions reflect:
+This is not display-only. Rename directories, files, ids, usage, schema references, JSON payloads, docs, tests, imports, launch URLs, registry entries, and Workspace Manager references as needed.
 
-Vector Asset Studio:
-"Create and edit reusable vector (SVG) assets. Build shapes, icons, and asset components."
+Canonical new identity:
+- display name: SVG Asset Studio
+- internal/tool id: svg-asset-studio
+- purpose: SVG-focused asset authoring studio
 
-Vector Map Editor:
-"Place and arrange vector assets in space. Build layouts, scenes, and maps."
+Old identity:
+- display name: Vector Asset Studio
+- old id likely: vector-asset-studio
 
-Apply updates to:
-- tool manifest metadata
-- Workspace Manager tile description
-- tool header description
-- fullscreen description binding
+Compatibility:
+- Provide one centralized temporary alias:
+  vector-asset-studio -> svg-asset-studio
+- The alias must be documented.
+- Do not scatter remapping logic across files.
+- Do not create duplicate tool entries.
+- Do not keep both tools visible.
+- Do not create pass-through variable chains.
+- Do not add hidden/default fallback data.
 
-Do NOT:
-- rename tools
-- change logic
-- change payload behavior
-- modify schema
-
-Also produce report:
-docs/dev/reports/PR_11_35_vector_tool_naming_recommendation.txt
+Required work:
+1. Inspect actual current repo for all references:
+   - "Vector Asset Studio"
+   - "vector-asset-studio"
+   - "vectorAssetStudio"
+   - "vector asset studio"
+   - related path names
+2. Rename active tool directory/file names where feasible.
+3. Update imports and references.
+4. Update tool manifest/registry/schema entries.
+5. Update sample 1902 workspace JSON/payload references.
+6. Update docs/help text that users see.
+7. Update tests/smoke expectations.
+8. Keep old references only in:
+   - one compatibility alias location
+   - migration/report docs
+9. Validate no duplicate SVG/Vector Asset Studio tiles appear.
 
-Include:
-- suggested improved names
-- reasoning
+Do NOT:
+- change unrelated tool behavior
+- modify Vector Map Editor except where it references the renamed tool
+- modify payload behavior except ID/name migration
+- touch start_of_day folders unless required by active runtime validation
+- leave mixed canonical naming
 
 Validation:
+Run:
 node --check tools/shared/platformShell.js
+node ./tests/runtime/LaunchSmokeAllEntries.test.mjs --samples --sample-range=1902-1902 --tools
+
+Also run repo search checks and include results in report:
+- search for "Vector Asset Studio"
+- search for "vector-asset-studio"
+- search for "SVG Asset Studio"
+- search for "svg-asset-studio"
+
+Manual validation:
+Open sample 1902 -> Workspace Manager.
+Confirm:
+- one tile only: SVG Asset Studio
+- no Vector Asset Studio tile
+- SVG Asset Studio opens
+- Vector Map Editor still opens
+- workspace payload still loads correctly
 
-Manual:
-Open Workspace Manager
-Confirm descriptions clearly differentiate tools
+REPORT:
+Write docs/dev/reports/PR_11_37_deep_rename_validation.txt with:
+- files renamed
+- files edited
+- canonical new IDs/names
+- compatibility alias location
+- remaining old-name references and why each is allowed
+- validation command results

+# PR 11.37 — Deep Rename Vector Asset Studio to SVG Asset Studio
+
+## Purpose
+Perform a full repo-level rename from Vector Asset Studio to SVG Asset Studio.
+
+## Problem
+PR 11.36 was display-only. That is not enough.
+
+The rename must be deep and consistent across:
+- directories
+- filenames
+- tool IDs where appropriate
+- manifests
+- registries
+- workspace usage
+- schema references
+- sample JSON payloads
+- tests
+- docs
+- import paths
+- launch URLs
+- reports/help text
+
+## Required Rename
+
+### Human-facing name
+Vector Asset Studio → SVG Asset Studio
+
+### Capability framing
+Old meaning:
+- generic vector asset editor
+
+New meaning:
+- SVG-focused asset authoring studio
+
+### Preferred internal ID migration
+If current internal id is:
+- vector-asset-studio
+
+Migrate to:
+- svg-asset-studio
+
+## Compatibility Requirement
+This is a deep rename, but existing old sample links or payload references must not hard-break during migration.
+
+Provide a temporary compatibility alias:
+- vector-asset-studio → svg-asset-studio
+
+The alias must be centralized and documented.
+
+Do not create scattered remapping chains.
+
+## Scope
+- Rename code paths and references intentionally.
+- Update sample 1902 workspace JSON references.
+- Update manifests and schema contracts.
+- Update tests and smoke expectations.
+- Update docs/reports references.
+- Preserve behavior.
+- Do not change unrelated tool logic.
+- Do not touch start_of_day folders unless they contain active runtime references required for tests.
+
+## Anti-Pattern Guard
+- One concept = one canonical new name.
+- Use `svg-asset-studio` as canonical.
+- Only keep old name as centralized compatibility alias.
+- Do not create duplicate tools.
+- Do not keep both tools in Workspace Manager.
+- Do not create fallback hidden assets.
+
+## Acceptance
+- Workspace Manager shows SVG Asset Studio.
+- Tool opens and functions from Workspace Manager.
+- Sample 1902 payload references new canonical name.
+- Old `vector-asset-studio` references are removed or centralized as compatibility aliases.
+- No duplicate Vector/SVG Asset Studio tiles.
+- Runtime smoke passes.
+- Repo search for "Vector Asset Studio" only finds intentional migration/history docs.
+- Repo search for "vector-asset-studio" only finds centralized compatibility alias or migration docs.
