chore: name WebDecoy LLC as author and copyright holder - #88
Merged

Conversation
The owner formed a Texas LLC named "WebDecoy LLC". Record that name where the project states who owns it: the author entry in both composer manifests, the copyright line in the translation template, and the author field in the CDN plugin-info metadata together with the updater fallback that has to agree with it (the fallback renders on the "View details" screen whenever the CDN JSON is unreachable, so the two must not drift). Metadata only. No version bump, no release, no behavior change. The WordPress.org-visible surfaces are deliberately untouched: the "Author:" plugin header in webdecoy.php and "Contributors:" in readme.txt both change the live directory listing, and the owner wants to time that himself.

Ships the build determinism fix and the ownership metadata from #88. The plugin stays "by WebDecoy" everywhere a customer looks. #88 had changed the updater's author string and cdn-files/plugin-info.json to "WebDecoy LLC", which would have shown the entity in the plugin details modal while the plugin header said WebDecoy. Those two answer the same question and now give the same answer. The entity stays where it belongs, as the copyright holder in composer.json and the translation template. 101 tests passing.

The owner formed a Texas LLC named "WebDecoy LLC". This records that name on the ownership metadata. Metadata only: no version bump, no release, no wp.org SVN activity, no behavior change.

The last two go together on purpose: the updater's fallback renders on the "View details" screen whenever the CDN JSON is unreachable, so if only one of them moved, the plugin would name a different owner depending on whether the CDN answered.
Deliberately not changed

Notes
languages/webdecoy.potis a checked-in artifact, not build output. Nothing inbuild.sh,release.sh,bin/*.shor CI regenerates it (build.shonly rsyncs it into the ZIP), and it has been touched by exactly one commit since the initial release. So this edit will not be silently reverted by a build. If it is ever regenerated withwp i18n make-pot, that tool takes the copyright holder from the plugin header'sAuthor:field, which is intentionally stillWebDecoyabove.sdk/composer.jsondeclares"license": "MIT"but the repo ships no MIT license file and no MIT copyright line, so there was no second copyright holder to update there.Validation
