Rename the app from 'Nextcloud Office (Collabora)' to 'Collabora Online' across user-facing strings, settings sections, notifications, task processing providers and docs. The notification source name now uses the product name instead of a hardcoded 'Office' label, and the settings section heading no longer branches on the Collabora product version check.

After the rename the admin description read 'Collabora Online requires a
separate server running Collabora Online', immediately next to a second
sentence saying the same thing more precisely. Drop the redundant one and
keep the WOPI-like Client wording, which is unchanged and keeps its
translations.
The product description branched on hasNextcloudBranding purely to pick a
name, so both arms became the same sentence. Collapse them and resolve the
name through the {productName} placeholder, which also stops the paragraph
contradicting the heading above it on a white-label install. That was the
last consumer of the hasNextcloudBranding initial state in this component.
Personal settings hardcoded the name while its surrounding section heading
resolves getProductName(), so a white-label install showed the vendor name
outside the panel and 'Collabora Online' inside. Read the product name the
same way the admin settings already do.
Notifier::getName() was a constant before this branch and now reads the
cached capabilities, which touches app data. Fall back rather than let a
display label break the notifier list.

The literal substitution left two wrong sentences on the repo front page. README.md said "Collabora Online is built on Collabora Online", which only parsed while the subject and object were different names, and it claimed Collabora Online is based on CODE when CODE is an edition of Collabora Online, not the other way round. Rewrite both around the app rather than the product. docs/frontend-integration.md had the same problem in the sentence that exists to separate the emitting server from the handling app. Drop hasNextcloudBranding(): this branch removed its last consumer, and what remained was an initial state nothing read and a product-version check nothing called. Stop sending the product name through gettext. A brand is not a translatable string, and this was the last use of IL10N in the class. Expose it as a constant so the notifier fallback cannot drift from it, and log the swallowed failure instead of discarding it silently. Cover the two behaviour changes: that getProductName() resolves a white-label vendor name, which the old hardcoded 'Office' made unreachable; that the settings section no longer branches on the product version; and that the notifier falls back rather than propagating when the capabilities lookup throws, which nothing exercised before.

Summary
Renames the Collabora integration from "Nextcloud Office (Collabora)" to
"Collabora Online" throughout the user-facing surface. The appstore listing
is generated from
<name>inappinfo/info.xmlat release time, so thatline is what updates the store entry.
"Nextcloud Office" is now the name of the Euro-Office based suite, so
keeping it on this app made the two products ambiguous wherever they appear
side by side.
Behaviour changes
Two changes here are more than string replacement and deserve a closer look:
lib/Settings/Section.php— removed thehasNextcloudBranding()branchin
getName(); it now returnsgetProductName()unconditionally, and thethen-unused
IL10Ndependency is gone.hasNextcloudBranding()is aCollabora product version check (
isVersionAtLeast('21.11')), not a themecheck, so the old branch meant a default install showed a bare "Office".
Effects: default install now shows "Collabora Online"; a white-label install
(app setting
theme !== 'nextcloud'plus a vendorproductNameincapabilities) now reaches the vendor's own name, which was previously
unreachable.
lib/Notification/Notifier.php—getName()returned a hardcoded'Office'and now returns the product name. Since that call reaches thecached capabilities and therefore touches app data, where it used to be a
constant, it falls back rather than letting a display label break the
notifier list.
Both classes are type-wired (
info.xmlandregisterNotifierService());there are no positional constructions to update.
The admin and personal settings now resolve the product name the same way,
so a white-label install no longer shows the vendor name on a section
heading and "Collabora Online" inside the panel.
Out of scope
CHANGELOG.mdandl10n/*.jsare untouched — translations are regeneratedby the pipeline. The
OfficeVue component name is internal, notuser-facing. The
onlyofficeapp is a separate product and unaffected.Note on translations
The changed
t()source strings lose their existing translations untilTransifex catches up. This will apply to the backports as well.
