 ## Overview
 
-Friend-Lite uses a unified initialization system with clean separation of concerns:
+Chronicle uses a unified initialization system with clean separation of concerns:
 
 - **Configuration** (`wizard.py`) - Set up service configurations, API keys, and .env files
 - **Service Management** (`services.py`) - Start, stop, and manage running services
 
 The root orchestrator handles service selection and delegates configuration to individual service scripts. In general, setup scripts only configure and do not start services automatically. Exceptions: `extras/asr-services` and `extras/openmemory-mcp` are startup scripts. This prevents unnecessary resource usage and gives you control over when services actually run.
