release: 3.3.0 → 3.3.1 — drop "WP" prefix, plugin is now just "Logbook"

David's call after a short discussion about WordPress.org marketplace
considerations. WP.org's trademark policy historically discourages
plugins implying official endorsement via a "WP" prefix and has been
known to request rename during submission review. Dropping it now
makes the name cleaner AND sidesteps that future hurdle if/when the
plugin lands on the marketplace.

CHANGES
All user-facing brand mentions: WP Logbook → Logbook across:
- Plugin header (Plugin Name + docblock)
- Admin menu top-level
- Admin sidebar submenu label still "My Log" (already prefix-free)
- Admin bar count menu
- Dashboard widget title
- Settings page H1
- Main page H1
- About page intro card + "What Logbook does" card heading
- Email feedback subject + body intro
- Legacy feedback.php subject lines
- error_log() prefix [WP Logbook] → [Logbook]
- Updater panel description text
- styles.php docblock

VERSION
- wp-notes.php header Version: 3.3.0 → 3.3.1
- WP_NOTES_VERSION constant: 3.3.0 → 3.3.1
- About page version-history card gets new top entry for v3.3.1
  with green "latest" pill; v3.3.0 demoted to previous entry
- CHANGELOG header line tracks the full naming lineage now:
  A-WP-Notes (≤v3.1.0) → WP Logbook (v3.2.0-v3.3.0) → Logbook
  (v3.3.1+)

NOTABLY NOT CHANGED
- Historical CHANGELOG entries for v3.2.0 still say "WP Logbook" —
  that was the correct name at the time, rewriting would be
  revisionist.
- Same zero-migration commitment: internal function names,
  constants, DB option keys, user_meta keys, file paths, plugin
  slug 'wp-notes', and text domain 'a-wp-notes' all unchanged.
- Pure user-facing string change. No data migration, no behaviour
  change. Existing installs see "Logbook" appear on next page
  refresh.

## [3.3.1] — 2026-05-25
**Naming: dropped the `WP` prefix. The plugin is now just `Logbook`.**
David's call after a short discussion about WordPress.org marketplace
considerations — WP.org's trademark policy historically discourages
plugins implying official endorsement via a `WP` prefix and has been
known to request a rename during submission review. Dropping it now
makes the name cleaner *and* sidesteps that future hurdle if/when
the plugin lands on the marketplace.
### Changed
- All user-facing brand mentions: `WP Logbook``Logbook` across
plugin header, admin menu, admin bar, dashboard widget, settings
H1, main page H1, About page intro, About page card heading,
feedback email subjects/body, error_log prefix, updater panel
copy, and styles docblock.
- About page version-history card gets a new top entry for v3.3.1
with the green "latest" pill; v3.3.0 demoted to the previous slot.
- CHANGELOG header line updated to track the full naming lineage:
*A-WP-Notes (≤v3.1.0) → WP Logbook (v3.2.0v3.3.0) → Logbook
(v3.3.1+)*.
### Notably NOT changed
- Historical CHANGELOG entries for v3.2.0 (the original "WP
Logbook" rebrand) still say "WP Logbook" — that was the correct
name at the time and rewriting it would be revisionist.
- Same zero-migration commitment as the v3.2.0 rebrand: internal
function names, constants, DB option keys, user_meta keys, file
paths, plugin slug, and text domain all unchanged. Pure
user-facing string change.
