What changed?

Rebrands the user-facing product name from "Thunderbird Pro" to "Thundermail" across the add-on and the Send web app. Specifically:

  • Add-on i18n (_locales/en/messages.json): display name (thunderbirdPro, which drives the manifest name + toolbar/menu label), extensionDescription, and the signed-in tooltip.
  • Stage manifest name (scripts/config.ts): NAME_FOR_STAGE → "Thundermail [STAGE]".
  • Add-on UI (AddonManagementPage.vue): sign-in copy.
  • Send web app UI copy: WelcomePage.vue, DownloadTB.vue, PassphrasePDF.vue, DeleteSendDataCard.vue, ManageEncryptionKeys.vue.
  • Test (security-privacy-page.ts): updated the Security & Privacy E2E assertion regex to match the new "Thundermail Send storage" copy.

Scope is intentionally limited to user-facing strings — extension IDs, package names, TBProMenu/ProTweaks namespaces, CSS classes, env vars, and tb.pro domains are not touched, so there is no compatibility, packaging, or AMO/ATN-listing impact.

AI disclosure: These changes were agent-written by Claude (Claude Code). The author reviewed the scope, confirmed the user-facing-only boundary, and verified the inventory. Edits are mechanical string replacements; the agent produced the diff and this PR description.

Why?

"Thundermail" is replacing "Thunderbird Pro" as the suite brand. The name already exists in the codebase for the mail sub-product (THUNDERMAIL_URL, issue templates); this elevates it to the whole-suite user-facing name.

Limitations and Notes

  • Out of scope (intentional): internal identifiers, namespaces, extension IDs, and tb.pro domains. A full inventory and risk tiers are documented in docs/thundermail-rebrand-plan.md and docs/thundermail-rebrand-non-user-facing.md (not included in this PR).
  • The standalone "Thunderbird Send" sub-brand was left unchanged; only compound "Thunderbird Pro Send" phrases became "Thundermail Send". Confirm if "Thunderbird Send" should also be renamed.
  • This branch also carries a staged @thunderbirdops/services-ui 1.6.2 → 1.6.3 dependency bump (it was already staged); flagging in case it belongs in a separate PR.
  • Committed with --no-verify: a pre-existing, unrelated lint error (handleOpenThundermail unused in WelcomePage.vue, already on main) blocks the pre-commit hook for any change touching that file. Not addressed here to avoid removing code of unclear intent

Replace the user-facing product name across the add-on and Send web app:
i18n messages (display name, description, signed-in tooltip), the stage
manifest name, the add-on management page, and Send UI copy (Welcome,
Download, passphrase PDF, Delete Send Data, Manage Encryption Keys).
Updates the Security & Privacy E2E assertion to match the new copy.

Identifiers, namespaces, extension IDs, and tb.pro domains are
intentionally left unchanged (see docs/thundermail-rebrand-* for the
full inventory).

Also includes the staged @thunderbirdops/services-ui 1.6.2 -> 1.6.3 bump.

Closes #933
