 ## [Unreleased] — 2026-04-30
 
-### Branding
-- Window title: `racked.ru launcher` (was `Prism Launcher 11.0.0-develop`)
-- `Launcher_DisplayName` → `racked.ru launcher` (`program_info/CMakeLists.txt`)
-- `setApplicationDisplayName()` no longer appends version string
-- Per-file copyright headers + `Launcher_Copyright` cmake var preserved (GPL-3.0 §5c compliance)
-
-### Removed "Cracked" branding leak
-Spell-check had mangled `racked.ru` → `cracked` across docs/configs. Cleaned all 7 files:
-- `CMakeLists.txt`, `program_info/CMakeLists.txt`, `program_info/org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher.metainfo.xml.in`
-- `README_RELEASE.md`, `PROJECT_SUMMARY.md`, `BUILD_GUIDE.md`, `scripts/create-release.sh`
-- Upstream URL `Diegiwg/PrismLauncher-Cracked` → placeholder `s8n-ru/minecraft-launcher` (replace with real repo URL)
-- Branch ref `cracked` → `main`
-
 ### News feed
 - `Launcher_NEWS_RSS_URL` → `https://racked.ru/feed.xml` (was `prismlauncher.org/feed/feed.xml`)
 - `Launcher_NEWS_OPEN_URL` → `https://racked.ru/news`

-## Why this fork exists
+## Trust
 
-Stock Minecraft phones home. Stock launcher pushes Microsoft accounts. Stock client struggles on low-end machines.
+Don't take my word on the privacy stuff. Read the audits:
 
-This fork fixes all three.
-
-| | Stock launcher | This fork |
-|---|---|---|
-| Telemetry | Yes | None |
-| Microsoft account | Required | Optional, never enforced |
-| News fetch on launch | Yes | Hidden, no startup call |
-| Plays on weak hardware | Often won't | Yes |
-| Window title | Mojang branding | `racked.ru launcher` |
-
-Full diff: [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md).

+  listed, telemetry verdict per call
+- [docs/SETTINGS_AUDIT.md](docs/SETTINGS_AUDIT.md) — default-value

+- [docs/BLOAT_AUDIT.md](docs/BLOAT_AUDIT.md) — what got stripped, why
