+A friend's Bot now has one name everywhere in a friend chat, on both homes: the sidebar row, chat header, tab, composer placeholder and @ menu all read `Chief (SelfB1233)`, from one shared formatter, and the @ menu no longer shows the handle as the Bot's name. A held message's approval card names the person who gets it (`Chief → SelfB1233`), the same before and after a reload, instead of `Chief → Chief (SelfB1233)` ([#498](https://github.com/ThinkFlowLab/FlyBot/issues/498)).
