jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 d5bd74570f Rename the project to FieldCraft
Crates fieldcraft-*, binaries fieldcraft and fieldcraft-cli, the .fieldcraft file (format tag
fieldcraft/1, manifest fieldcraft.json), FIELDCRAFT_* environment variables, the MCP server
name, egui widget ids (fc_*), the app icon document FieldCraft.icon and its generated family,
docs and licences. No compatibility shim: no files of the earlier name exist.

"""Regenerate the README demo video: an I-beam cantilever analysed by an agent over MCP.
Every analysis step goes through the MCP server (`fieldcraft-cli mcp --connect`), bridged to
the desktop app, and every frame is the app window captured offscreen through the MCP
`screenshot` tool (`source: window`). See README.md beside this file.
Python standard library only; ffmpeg encodes the frames.
