What

Renames every mesh / meshcentral reference in the apps client to its group / vervain equivalent so the word "mesh" (and the leftover msh config stem) no longer appears anywhere in the repo. Done in lockstep with vervain-server, which was renamed on the same feature/refactor-vervain branch; all new names were read from the live server source, so the client stays wire-compatible.

Wire protocol (matches the renamed server handlers)

Control-channel actions become creategroup / editgroup / deletegroup / groups, fields become groupname / grouptype / groupid / groupadmin, plus addgroupuser / removegroupuser / changeDeviceGroup. The device-group doc-id prefix moves from mesh/ to group/.

Contract fixes the rename surfaced

These were already broken against the renamed server, not just cosmetic:

Agent-binary download route /meshagents/<id> becomes /vervainagents/<id> (server route is vervainagents, generic-package name vervainagent, not "groupagents").
Per-group config route /meshsettings.ashx becomes /groupsettings.ashx.
The session cookie forwarded to the server changes from mc_session to vervain_session; the server now both sets and reads vervain_session, so the old name no longer authenticated.
The downloadable per-group agent config moves from the .msh extension to .vagent to match vervain-server's new groupsettings output. Parsed keys are GroupServer= / GroupID=, and augment_vagent_for_agent now only derives the agent-required ServerURL= from GroupServer= (the server emits GroupID= directly).

Internal Rust and UI

Types Mesh / MeshMembership / MeshInstall become Group / GroupMembership / GroupInstall; server fns list_meshes / create_mesh / edit_mesh / delete_mesh become the *_group forms; page file meshes.rs becomes groups.rs and route /meshes becomes /groups; the nav and breadcrumb label becomes "Device Groups".

Verification

just check passes: fmt, clippy, server build, wasm build, and all 21 unit tests. grep -ri mesh over the tree returns zero hits (the .msh extension is gone too).

Closes VS-42.

Rename every "mesh" identifier, wire string, route, config key, and user-facing label to its "group" / "vervain" equivalent so the word "mesh" no longer appears anywhere in the repo. Done in lockstep with vervain-server, which was renamed on the same branch; all new names were taken from the live server source rather than guessed, so the apps client stays wire-compatible.

Wire protocol (control channel) now matches the renamed server handlers: actions creategroup / editgroup / deletegroup / groups, fields groupname / grouptype / groupid / groupadmin, plus addgroupuser / removegroupuser / changeDeviceGroup; the device-group doc-id prefix moves from mesh/ to group/.

Contract fixes the rename surfaced (these would already be broken against the renamed server, not just cosmetic): the agent-binary download route moves from /meshagents/<id> to /vervainagents/<id> (server route is vervainagents, generic-package name vervainagent), the per-group config route moves from /meshsettings.ashx to /groupsettings.ashx, and the session cookie forwarded to the server changes from mc_session to vervain_session (the server now both sets and reads vervain_session).

docs(apps): reword "legacy" comments to reference the original SPA

Check / fmt + clippy + build + tests (pull_request) Successful in 1m6s

Details

71478e7405

The original Vervain SPA was replaced by this repo (Vervain Apps), so drop the "legacy" framing from the doc comments. SPA / UI / login-flow references now read "the original SPA", older-data-shape references read "older imports" / "older versions", and the few spots where "legacy" added nothing (the mouse-button byte, the agent actiontype, the poweraction numeric type, the handlebars views) just drop the word. Comment-only change; no behavior, types, or wire strings touched.

chore(apps): restore justfile separator comments changed by accident

The previous commit swept an unintended justfile edit (two section-separator comments had their box-drawing rules rewritten to ASCII hyphens) into the docs change via `git add -A`. It was not part of the rename or the comment reword, and the other source files keep their box-drawing separators, so restore the justfile to its prior form to keep the change focused.
