Rename Hyprnote to Char in user-facing text
Summary
Targeted rename of user-visible "Hyprnote" references to "Char" across ~30 files. Addresses #4104.
This is a conservative first pass focusing on safe, user-facing text only: window titles, tray menu labels, MCP server descriptions, Flatpak metadata, PDF export footer, OpenAPI title, monitoring names, doc comments, and image alt text. Infrastructure, provider IDs, and code identifiers are intentionally untouched.
What changed:

"Hyprnote v0 - Stable"→"Char v0 - Stable"(and Nightly). Since these refer to importing from the old app version, users with the old "Hyprnote" installed may find "Char v0" confusing. Verify this is the desired label.chat/body/empty.tsxhas the alt text updated to "Char" but the visible labelHyprnote AIwas left unchanged. Confirm whether this should also be renamed.stt/configure.tsxstill say "Hyprnote Cloud". Confirm whether these should be renamed to "Char Cloud".providerName="Hyprnote"props are preserved in LLM/STT settings. This is intentional (matches backend), but verify this is the desired UX.Test plan:

This is a conservative first pass. Additional renames (blog content, scripts, etc.) can be done in follow-up PRs once infrastructure dependencies are confirmed.
