Drops the "WaCRM" branded name across user-facing surfaces in favour
of a descriptive name. Branded names that imply WhatsApp ownership or
sponsorship are a trademark fair-use risk; a relationship-based name
("CRM Template for WhatsApp") sidesteps that.
Scope:
- Brand text in nav, sidebar, footer, docs shell, mock window chrome.
- SITE_NAME / SITE_DESCRIPTION / legalName in src/lib/seo/site-config.ts.
- README, CONTRIBUTING, docs/, .github/ templates and policies.
- package.json description.
- Auth pages, settings copy, FAQ, code comments.
Out of scope (intentionally — these are infra renames the project
owner should drive separately so links and the package lockfile stay
consistent):
- The github.com/ArnasDon/wacrm repo URL.
- The wacrm.tech domain / homepage field.
- The package.json "name" field.
- The Hostinger application name and Meta system-user name in deploy
docs (existing-deployment instructions).

The webhook signature verifier used to fall open with a warning log
when META_APP_SECRET was unset — a deliberate soft-rollout choice that
is unsafe for a public template. A forker who forgets the env var
would be running a fully spoofable webhook: anyone knowing the URL
could POST fabricated status updates and drift broadcast counts.
Now:
- `verifyMetaWebhookSignature` returns false when the secret is missing
and logs at error level, so the route responds 401 to every POST
until the operator configures it.
- Docs mark META_APP_SECRET as **required**:
- docs/environment-variables.md lists it under Required, not
Recommended.
- docs/whatsapp-setup.md §6 is now "Signature verification (required)".
- docs/troubleshooting.md updated accordingly.
- .env.local.example lists the var with guidance on where to find it.
Also fixes a pre-existing gitignore bug: `.env*` was swallowing
`.env.local.example`, which meant forkers running
`cp .env.local.example .env.local` from the getting-started guide
hit "no such file". Added a negation for `*.example`.
Upgrade note for existing deploys: set META_APP_SECRET (Meta → App
Settings → Basic → App Secret) before updating, or inbound webhooks
will 401 until it's configured.

Swaps the Hostinger recommendation on the landing page and throughout the
docs from VPS to Managed Node.js Hosting
(https://www.hostinger.com/web-apps-hosting).
The deploy walkthrough is rewritten around hPanel's Node.js app flow
(Git-based deploy, env vars panel, AutoSSL, cron via Advanced → Cron Jobs)
instead of a raw Ubuntu VPS with nginx + PM2 + certbot. VPS stays
mentioned at the bottom of the deploy page as an alternative when a
user actually needs one (background workers, custom binaries, etc.).
Also touched:
- docs/README.md, environment-variables.md, automations-and-cron.md,
troubleshooting.md to drop VPS-specific assumptions.
- footer link URL.

Adds docs/ with a reading-order flow that covers:
- getting started (fork, install, run locally)
- supabase setup + migrations
- whatsapp business api + webhook wiring
- environment variable reference
- hostinger vps deploy walkthrough
- automations cron scheduling
- troubleshooting for the common issues
Rewrites the top-level README as a pointer into docs/ instead of the
create-next-app boilerplate.
