Legacy names
KratosForge is the app's name everywhere you read it: the window title, the top bar, menus, messages, the docs and the docs site. Installed copies took the name through a normal update. The first time the app starts after that update it shows a one-time announcement; close it with Enter the forge, Escape or Enter. To see it again, search for About the new name in the command bar (Ctrl+K).
The top bar shows the KratosForge wordmark beside the Wolf Forge emblem, and the release titles on GitHub are KratosForge (stable) and KratosForge (latest build).
Names that stay as they are#
Some files, folders, settings and markers keep a legacy name from before KratosForge. Nothing you built moves, and nothing has to be set up again: existing installations, notebooks and workspaces find each other by these names, so they don't change. Where the docs show one, type or look for it exactly as written.
| What | Legacy name | Why it stays |
|---|---|---|
| The download, the program file and the Windows program name | fabric-desktop.exe, fabric-desktop-engine.zip, Fabric Desktop |
Updates replace the file people already have, and download links keep working. |
| The folder on your PC | %LOCALAPPDATA%\FabricDesktop |
Your notebooks, sign-in, settings and engine are there (where files live). |
| The Windows app identity and update address | com.kratosbi.fabricdesktop, the fabric-desktop GitHub releases |
Changing either would stop installed copies from updating. |
| Platform workspaces it suggests | Fabric Desktop Platform - <Environment> |
Existing workspaces are found by this name (the platform). |
| The central lakehouse | FabricDesktop_Central |
Every installation in your organization shares it (Optimize). |
| Cells the app adds to notebooks | # Fabric Desktop setup, # Fabric Desktop proof, # Fabric Desktop side by side, # Fabric Desktop runner |
The app recognizes its own cells by these first lines, in notebooks already in Fabric too. |
| The Python package, command and settings | fabric_desktop, fabric-desktop, FABRIC_DESKTOP_* variables, the fabric_desktop_* MCP tools |
Scripts, agents, policies and AI tool setups use them. |
The repository's address#
The repository is github.com/KratosDataGod/KratosForge. Its earlier address, github.com/KratosDataGod/fabric-desktop, forwards to it, so saved links, clones and installed copies' updates keep working. The docs site is kratosdatagod.github.io/kratosforge; the earlier docs address is not forwarded.
