LEGACY-DUPLICATES.md

Legacy duplicates (marked, not removed)

Status 2026-10-27. The owner asked to mark duplicate apps and keep the primaries until the system is stable; legacy code and apps get removed only after that. Nothing here was deleted, hidden, uninstalled, archived or moved. Frozen copies of SDK-owned apps are already marked by REPO-OWNERSHIP.md and ci/frozen-paths.txt (FROZEN.md in each directory); this file references them and does not repeat that work.

Evidence used: what is installed and running on the M1 Pro (~/.local/bin, ~/.local/share/applications, user units, ps), the dock pins (gsettings get io.elementary.dock launchers), newest commits, and the current docs. Where the evidence does not settle it, the row says undecided for the owner.

Markers used:

• Repo directory: a LEGACY.md banner naming the primary (not added inside frozen paths).
• Installed user launcher: (Legacy) appended to Name=; backup of the original kept outside the repo.
• System launchers under /usr/share/applications were not edited; they are listed for the owner.

Groups

Group	Primary	Legacy duplicates	Evidence	After stabilization
Claude / T3 client	rust/claude-pantheon-rs (SDK repo), launcher io.github.techmore.ClaudePantheonRs.desktop "T3"	mseries/claude-pantheon-native (Vala/C, LEGACY.md added); com.t3tools.T3Code.desktop "T3 Code (Beta)" (Electron, Exec points at a missing /tmp/opencode/... path; launcher renamed)	Rust T3 pinned in dock, binary rebuilt 2026-10-27; Vala twin not installed, last commit 2026-10-22	Remove Vala dir and the T3 Code launcher
T3 hand-written vs SDK-rendered	undecided	claude-pantheon-sdk / "T3 Monitor (SDK)" (rust/claude-pantheon-rs/sdk/t3.msdk, hidden launcher)	Owner direction: the SDK should build all apps; today the SDK monitor is read-only and the hand-written app is the daily one	Owner picks
Claude desktop vs T3	undecided	com.anthropic.Claude.desktop (Electron, running and pinned)	T3 was started to replace the Electron client, but both are pinned and in use	Owner picks
Messages	undecided (deferred by owner)	Python io.elementary.mseries.Messages (mseries/phone-setup/messages.py, frozen, pinned); Rust io.elementary.mseries.MessagesRust "Messages (Rust Preview)" (rust/mseries-messages, frozen); io.elementary.mseries.Conversations "Messages & Signal" (tab launcher the owner rejected)	MESSAGING-STATUS.md: do not promote the preview or replace the default client without an owner request. Rust is newer; Python is the pinned one	Owner picks; no launcher renamed
Signal official client	signal-desktop.desktop "Signal Beta" (~/.local/libexec/mseries-signal-launcher, accent-synced beta bundle)	signal-desktop-beta.desktop (identical, hidden; renamed); org.signal.Signal.desktop (Flatpak 8.32 stable, hidden; renamed)	Only signal-desktop.desktop is visible; all three beta entries run the same launcher	Remove the duplicate entries and the Flatpak
Signal "signal beta.desktop"	keep for now	signal beta.desktop (third identical entry, hidden)	Its file name equals the window class signal beta, so the dock probably uses it to label the running window; renaming it would show "(Legacy)" on the live app	Owner decides whether to keep it as the window-match entry or fix StartupWMClass
Signal native vs official	undecided	Signal Pantheon (io.github.sdolbec.SignalPantheonClient, pinned, signal-cli running) vs official Signal Beta vs Rust Messages Signal channel	MESSAGING-STATUS: Signal Pantheon integration incomplete and deferred	Owner picks
Dictation	mseries-stream-dictate.service (transcribe.cpp + Parakeet, mseries/dictation/stream-dictate.py)	Voxtype (/usr/local/bin/voxtype, voxtype.service, install-dictation.sh, dictation/config.toml)	stream-dictate enabled and running; voxtype.service disabled and inactive; dictation/README.md calls Voxtype the fallback. Shared directory, so no banner	Remove Voxtype and its installer
Smart Reply	rust/mseries-reply (mseries-reply input-service running)	First Python bridge: already replaced in place	SMART-REPLY-DESIGN.md "Rust replaces the Python bridge"; mseries/smart-reply now holds the Rust unit only	Nothing left to mark
Orchard / Machine Lab	mseries/orchard (installed, pinned)	mseries/orchard-incus (Python, LEGACY.md added); mseries/machine-lab and mseries/orchard-incus-native (already "has moved" stubs)	Merged 2026-10-21 per orchard/README.md	Remove all three dirs
Assistants	undecided (another session owns mseries-assistant)	"Desktop Assistant" and "Personal Assistant" run the same code path and profile; "Hermes Assistant (Experimental)" (separate Hermes agent); Newelle (Flatpak io.github.qwersyk.Newelle)	~/.local/bin/mseries-assistant: desktop and personal take the same branch	Owner picks after that session lands
Discord	undecided	discord.desktop (Vesktop, native arm64) vs discord-official.desktop (official x86 under muvm)	Both installed, neither pinned	Owner picks
Disk Space / Updates / Power / granite-smoke	SDK repo (techmore/mseries-sdk-apps)	Already removed from this repo by PR #646	REPO-OWNERSHIP.md "Removed from this repo"	Done
Torrential	rust/torrential (SDK repo, new id org.techmore.mseries.Torrential)	mseries/torrential-native packaging (old id com.github.davidmhewitt.torrential)	REPO-OWNERSHIP: "confirm what native/port material is still needed"	undecided; no banner
Restore Application Windows	/usr/share/applications/mseries-restore-windows.desktop	~/.local/share/applications/mseries-restore-windows.desktop (byte-identical shadow)	Same desktop id, so the user copy hides the system one; renaming it would label the only visible entry "(Legacy)"	Delete the user copy (not renamed)
Frozen SDK copies	techmore/mseries-sdk-apps	Every path in ci/frozen-paths.txt	FROZEN.md in each; CI guard	Retire per REPOSITORY-TOPOLOGY.md step 6

Old app ids (pending, not yet duplicates)

SDK PR #41 (docs/APP-ID-MIGRATION-2026-10-27.md) moves the Rust apps to org.techmore.mseries.*. The new packages are not installed yet, so the old launchers are still the only working ones and were not renamed. After the new packages install, these become legacy: io.github.techmore.ClaudePantheon{Rs,Sdk}, org.elementary.mseries.ImageStudio, io.elementary.mseries.{Conversations,MessagesRust}, io.github.sdolbec.SignalHistoryImport (and dock pins need the swap in that doc).

Installed launchers renamed (user level)

Backups: ~/.config/Claude/side-session-notes/local_ade438ad-48f1-41af-89b1-8329dfaedd51/legacy-desktop-backup/.

File in ~/.local/share/applications	New Name=
signal-desktop-beta.desktop	Signal Beta (Legacy)
org.signal.Signal.desktop	Signal (Legacy)
com.t3tools.T3Code.desktop	T3 Code (Beta) (Legacy)

To undo: copy the backup over the file and run update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications.

System launchers for the owner (not edited)

/usr/share/applications entry	Note
io.github.techmore.ClaudePantheonRs.desktop "T3-R Pantheon"	Shadowed by the user copy "T3"; old app id
mseries-restore-windows.desktop	Shadowed by an identical user copy
org.mseries.Battery.desktop, org.techmore.EnergyMonitor.desktop, mseries-power-report.desktop, org.gnome.PowerStats.desktop	Four battery/power views; undecided which is primary

Other installed leftovers (listed, untouched)
