+# CoreScope Migration Guide
+
+MeshCore Analyzer has been renamed to **CoreScope**. This document covers what you need to update.
+
+## What Changed
+
+- **Repository name**: `meshcore-analyzer` → `corescope`
+- **Docker image name**: `meshcore-analyzer:latest` → `corescope:latest`
+- **Docker container prefixes**: `meshcore-*` → `corescope-*`
+- **Default site name**: "MeshCore Analyzer" → "CoreScope"
+
+## What Did NOT Change
+
+- **Data directories** — `~/meshcore-data/` stays as-is
+- **Database filename** — `meshcore.db` is unchanged
+- **MQTT topics** — `meshcore/#` topics are protocol-level and unchanged
+- **Browser state** — Favorites, localStorage keys, and settings are preserved
+- **Config file format** — `config.json` structure is the same
+
+---
+
+## 1. Git Remote Update
+
+Update your local clone to point to the new repository URL:
+
+```bash
+git remote set-url origin https://github.com/Kpa-clawbot/corescope.git
+git pull
+```
+
+## 2. Docker (manage.sh) Users
+
+Rebuild with the new image name:
+
+```bash
+./manage.sh stop
+git pull
+./manage.sh setup
+```
+
+The new image is `corescope:latest`. You can clean up the old image:
+
+```bash
+docker rmi meshcore-analyzer:latest
+```
+
+## 3. Docker Compose Users
+
+Rebuild containers with the new names:
+
+```bash
+docker compose down
+git pull
+docker compose build
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+Container names change from `meshcore-*` to `corescope-*`. Old containers are removed by `docker compose down`.
+
+## 4. Data Directories
+
+**No action required.** The data directory `~/meshcore-data/` and database file `meshcore.db` are unchanged. Your existing data carries over automatically.
+
+## 5. Config
+
+If you customized `branding.siteName` in your `config.json`, update it to your preferred name. Otherwise the new default "CoreScope" applies automatically.
+
+No other config keys changed.
+
+## 6. MQTT
+
+**No action required.** MQTT topics (`meshcore/#`) are protocol-level and are not affected by the rename.
+
+## 7. Browser
+
+**No action required.** Bookmarks/favorites will continue to work at the same host and port. localStorage keys are unchanged, so your settings and preferences are preserved.
+
+## 8. CI/CD
+
+If you have custom CI/CD pipelines that reference:
+
+- The old repository URL (`meshcore-analyzer`)
+- The old Docker image name (`meshcore-analyzer:latest`)
+- Old container names (`meshcore-*`)
+
+Update those references to use the new names.
