LUCIT branding/licensing removal (April 2026)

Completed — LUCIT is fully removed as of this cleanup round.

The suite previously had a “LUCIT” branding and licensing layer across all repos: a lucit conda channel (meta.yaml/environment.yml), a lucit-licensing-python host dependency, LUCIT-branded logos/badges, a lucit.tech security-contact form, and Matomo/Freshchat tracking snippets pointing at lucit.* domains in the Sphinx theme config.

This was removed suite-wide: conda-forge is now the only conda channel, the licensing dependency is gone, logos and badges were replaced, and SECURITY.md now points to GitHub Security Advisories instead of the LUCIT contact form.

Reason: LUCIT is no longer part of how this suite is distributed or supported — the packages are self-contained, licensed under plain MIT, and distributed solely through PyPI, conda-forge, and GitHub.

Leftover, deliberately kept: the Sphinx theme’s 'lucit': True option in conf.py (see packaging.md) — it’s a theme feature flag, not a brand reference, and removing it would need a theme-level change, not just a repo cleanup.

Revisit when: the suite forks its own Sphinx theme (see suite-wide plan) — re-check whether the 'lucit' flag still applies under the new theme.
