offscale is headscale plus the companion, not a rename

Browse Source 
the name looks like branding on someone else's project, which is exactly how it
gets 'corrected' back later. it is not: offscale is the stock headscale server
plus the companion that ships beside it, and the invite flow is the first thing
that only exists there.

Offscale is Headscale extracted into a plugin. It is the pilot: chosen because it is a genuine vertical
slice (schema + backend router + sidecar + frontend screen + capabilities) without being pathological.
**The name is not a rename.** Offscale is Headscale _plus the Companion_ — an API and UI that ship beside
the Headscale server and add what Headscale itself does not do, the invite flow being the first of them.
Calling it Headscale would undersell it and calling it a fork would be wrong: the server underneath is
stock. The distinct name marks a distinct product, not a badge on someone else's.
Related, and older: `sidecar-app-store.md` is the origin design and is largely implemented despite its
"Nothing implemented" header. `sidecar-topology.md` is where the runtime shape was going.
