fix(branding): replace remaining user-facing "Roo" strings with "Zoo" by proyectoauraorg · Pull Request #343 · Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code

proyectoauraorg · 2026-05-27T09:19:59Z

What & why

Several user-visible strings still showed the upstream "Roo" brand instead of "Zoo". The most visible one was the missing-tool-parameter retry notice in chat:

Roo tried to use read_file without value for required parameter 'path'. Retrying...

That message was hardcoded in Task.ts (unlike its siblings unknownToolError / invalidJsonArgument, which are already localized to "Zoo"). The editor tab and several other surfaces had the same leftover.

Changes

Task.ts — the missing-parameter notice is now localized via new keys tools:missingToolParameter / tools:missingToolParameterWithPath, added and translated across all 18 locales (mirroring the existing unknownToolError pattern).
Titles — the editor tab title (createWebviewPanel), the webview <title>, the diff editor label (DIFF_VIEW_LABEL_CHANGES), and the integrated terminal name.
Commands/output — the "Cannot find any visible … instances" output-channel line.
Notifications — the credit-balance message and the LM Studio context-length error.
Router/cloud — the removal/sign-in messages in common.json (18 locales) and the fallback constants in routerRemoval.ts.

Tests updated to assert the new strings.

Intentionally not changed

To avoid breaking internals or rewriting history, these "Roo" occurrences are left as-is:

the legacy provider id roo and .roo* config file references;
i18n key paths (e.g. errors.roo.*);
OpenRouter X-Title attribution headers and MCP/checkpoint client names (sent to external services, not shown in the VS Code UI);
the deliberate fork-history announcement that references the original "Roo Code" project;
console/debug logs.

Note: the router/cloud group names a feature inherited-and-removed from upstream; if maintainers prefer to keep "Roo Code Router/Cloud" wording there, that group can be dropped without affecting the rest.

Verification

node scripts/find-missing-translations.js → ✅ all locales complete
tsc --noEmit on the changed files → clean
eslint → clean
vitest on the affected specs → 131 passing

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added internationalized retry/error messages for missing tool parameters across 18 locales.
Documentation
- Updated user-facing branding from "Roo" to "Zoo" (Zoo Code, Zoo Code Cloud, Zoo Code Router) across UI copy and translations.
Tests
- Updated and added tests to reflect the new branding and new missing-parameter message behavior.

Several user-visible strings still showed the upstream "Roo" brand instead of "Zoo": - the missing-tool-parameter retry notice (was hardcoded in Task.ts; now localized via tools:missingToolParameter / missingToolParameterWithPath across all 18 locales, matching the existing unknownToolError pattern) - the editor tab title and the webview <title> - the diff editor label and the integrated terminal name - the "no visible instances" output-channel line - the credit-balance and LM Studio context-length error notices - the router/cloud removal messages (common.json + routerRemoval.ts) Internal identifiers are intentionally left unchanged: the legacy provider id "roo", .roo* config file references, i18n key paths, OpenRouter X-Title attribution headers, MCP/checkpoint client names, and console logs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Replaces user-facing "Roo" branding with "Zoo" across UI strings, webview titles, diff/terminal labels, router removal messages, LM Studio error text, adds localized missing-parameter messages in 18 locales, and updates tests to match the new strings.

Changes

Branding rename: Roo to Zoo

Layer / File(s)	Summary
I18n contract and Task implementation `src/i18n/locales/en/tools.json`, `src/core/task/Task.ts`	Adds `missingToolParameter` + `missingToolParameterWithPath` in English and updates `Task.sayAndCreateMissingParamError` to use i18n lookups with placeholders for `toolName`, `paramName`, and `relPath`.
Locale translations (18 languages) `src/i18n/locales//common.json`, `src/i18n/locales//tools.json`	Applies Roo→Zoo branding updates in each locale's `common.json` and adds the new `tools.json` keys for missing-parameter retry messages across supported languages.
Application UI and error message updates `src/activate/registerCommands.ts`, `src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts`, `src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts`, `src/integrations/terminal/Terminal.ts`, `src/core/webview/webviewMessageHandler.ts`, `src/core/config/routerRemoval.ts`, `src/api/providers/lm-studio.ts`	Updates webview titles, HMR/production HTML titles, diff editor label, default terminal name, webview error payloads, router removal messages, and LM Studio thrown error texts to reference "Zoo" instead of "Roo".
Tests aligned to branding `src/activate/__tests__/`, `src/core/webview/__tests__/`, `src/core/config/__tests__/*`, `src/integrations/terminal/__tests__/TerminalRegistry.spec.ts`, `src/core/task/__tests__/Task.spec.ts`	Test expectations and mocks updated to expect "Zoo" branding; new tests added to validate Task missing-parameter messaging and i18n usage.

Poem

🐰 From Roo to Zoo I nibble a line,
Strings hop and localizations shine,
Titles and tests now sing in tune,
Across eighteen tongues beneath the moon,
A tiny rabbit cheers: "Zoo, it's fine!"
