The fork shipped renamed binary/bundle but the product name "Zed" was still
shown everywhere in the UI. Rename the display name to "Joule" (tagline
"Energy-metered agentic coding") while preserving every load-bearing reference.
Display renames (105 .rs files): release_channel display_name, welcome +
onboarding + ai_onboarding, macOS app menu (About/Hide/Quit), window titles,
About panel, settings UI, notifications, update/collab messages, system specs.
Bundle display name (crates/zed/Cargo.toml) -> "Joule" so CFBundleName / the
menu-bar name and the .app are "Joule" (identifier science.transaction.AgentJoule
and the agent-joule binary are unchanged).
Docs (223 .md): product prose Zed -> Joule, fence-aware (code blocks untouched).
Embedded assets (12 JSONC): // comments only.
Legal (4 files): product -> Joule, entity "Zed Industries, Inc." -> "Transaction
Science, Inc.", domain zed.dev -> openie.dev. NOTE: these are structurally Zed's
inherited terms and need a real legal review, not just a rename.
Deliberately PRESERVED (renaming would break the app): font aliases ("Zed Plex
Sans"/".ZedMono" in text_system + assets), HTTP header names (X-Zed-Predict-*),
zed:: action ids, app/bundle identifiers (dev.zed.Zed*, Zed-Editor-* product ids),
zed.dev URLs, ZED_* env vars, crate/package names, "Zed Industries" in non-legal
attribution, and the {zed,Zed} config-dir glob.
Signed + notarized + stapled as Joule.app, installed to /Applications, verified
(Gatekeeper: Notarized Developer ID, FH93XC2VRR). Caveat: test-code string
literals were renamed too, so some `cargo test` assertions may need updating.

Joule Extensions
This directory contains extensions for Joule that are largely maintained by the Joule team. They currently live in the Joule repository for ease of maintenance.
If you are looking for the Zed extension registry, see the zed-industries/extensions repo.
Structure
Currently, Zed includes support for a number of languages without requiring installing an extension. Those languages can be found under crates/languages/src.
Support for all other languages is done via extensions. This directory (extensions/) contains some of the officially maintained extensions. These extensions use the same zed_extension_api available to all Zed Extensions for providing language servers, tree-sitter grammars and tree-sitter queries.
You can find the other officially maintained extensions in the zed-extensions organization.
Dev Extensions
See the docs for Developing an Extension Locally for how to work with one of these extensions.
