Summary

This pull request removes hardcoded "Casey" references in the App Home view and replaces them with generic text and a dynamic bot mention using context.bot_user_id. This allows the app name to be customized without the App Home being out of sync.

  • Header changed from "I'm Casey, your IT helpdesk agent" to "I'm your IT helpdesk agent"
  • Mention text uses <@bot_user_id> instead of backtick @Casey
  • Static "Casey has access to…" strings replaced with "This agent has access to…"
  • Added tests for the bot_user_id parameter

Testing

  • Run the app and open the App Home tab
  • Verify the header no longer says "Casey"
  • Verify the context block shows a dynamic @mention of the bot
  • Verify the MCP status section uses generic "This agent" / "this agent" text
  • Rename the app and confirm the App Home still renders correctly

note: Again, this reads funny but it does allow for a safe fallback when no bot id provided.
