Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(display): colors are the only user-facing clone
 names across menus and scripts

The shortcut files have been color-named since 2026-11-01 (ZCode Blue.lnk
etc.) but GHOST.bat rows and the suite scripts' console output still spoke
the frozen keys - Second/Fifth for ZCode, c1/c2 for the newer suites. Two
vocabularies for one clone confused users.

Menus: all 31 :Opt rows across the four clone submenus now read 'Launch
Blue clone' / 'Reset Red clone' / 'Launch Yellow clone'; tails carry only
qualifiers; dispatch labels and notes follow. Window titles were already
color-based.

Scripts: every user-visible print now leads with the color. launchers and
watchers use their existing DisplayName/Title/Color fields; reset_zcode.ps1,
sync_zcode_assets.ps1 and launch_cline_clone.ps1 gained small key-to-color
helpers. Identification lines (banners, section headers, summaries) keep
the frozen key as 'Color (key)' / 'Color / key' so CLI params and docs stay
correlatable; status lines are color-only. .lnk Description metadata is
color-led; the suite generator templates teach the pattern.

Frozen plumbing untouched: -Instance/-Target params, clone dirs, AUMIDs,
log filenames, port tables, window classes.

Verified: 14/14 parse-check, repo-integrity 11/11, GH_SEQ chained smoke of
all four submenus (17 stubbed launches, zero CMD errors), live -Instance
Sixth run ('[ram-guard] Orange is already running...'), sync -Target Sixth
-DryRun ('=== Orange / Sixth (ZCodeSixthHome) ===').

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] test(harness): assert color-first clone row labels

The .bat harness's M/N/O scenarios asserted the OLD key-led row text
('Reset Second instance.*- Blue', 'Launch c1'). GHOST.bat now renders
color-first labels ('Reset Blue clone', 'Launch Blue clone') per the
display-vocabulary unification, so the regexes follow. All 19 scenarios
pass locally.
