Read app_suffix from LoopFollowDisplayNameConfig.xcconfig in the Fastfile and build the app and Live Activity extension identifiers from it, replacing the hardcoded com.<team>.LoopFollow strings. The same Fastfile now produces the correct bundle identifiers in LoopFollow, LoopFollow_Second and LoopFollow_Third without per-repo edits. Update release.sh so the conflict notice no longer lists the Fastfile, which is now identical across the sister repositories.
Accept any LoopFollow* directory in Scripts/swiftformat.sh instead of only the
exact 'LoopFollow' folder, so formatting runs consistently in LoopFollow,
LoopFollow_Second and LoopFollow_Third.
Drive the variant name in build_LoopFollow.yml's not-configured summary from
${{ github.event.repository.name }} / ${{ env.UPSTREAM_REPO }} and drop the
variant name from two comments, so the workflow no longer hardcodes 'LoopFollow'
in cosmetic text. The only intentional per-repo differences left are the cron
minute and UPSTREAM_REPO.

The exact-'LoopFollow' folder check is intentional: it prevents swiftformat from reformatting source files when the tree is checked out as a sister repo (LoopFollow_Second / LoopFollow_Third), which would create spurious diffs. The script stays identical across all three repos and skips by folder name at runtime.

Replace the git diff / git apply patch flow in release.sh's update_follower with an rsync --delete mirror of the release tree into each sister repo, followed by re-applying that instance's overlay (app_suffix, display_name, UPSTREAM_REPO, cron) and renaming the workspace. The per-instance values are derived from the sister directory name; only the staggered cron minute is passed in. Mirroring makes each sister an exact copy of the release tree except for the overlay, so transfers no longer hit patch-context conflicts and any accidental drift in a sister is corrected automatically. Only .git, local/build dirs and the local team override (LoopFollowConfigOverride.xcconfig) are protected from the sync.
Drop the DerivedData and LoopFollowConfigOverride.xcconfig rsync excludes — they don't exist in any of the repos, so there is nothing to protect. The mirror now only shields .git, .claude and build.
Capture the sister's existing scheduled-build cron line before mirroring and restore it afterwards, rather than passing hardcoded minutes (27/40) into update_follower. Each repo keeps its own staggered build time with no magic numbers in the call sites; if a repo has no cron line the mirrored default is left in place.
Pass each app's staggered Sunday-build minute into update_follower and write it during the overlay, instead of capturing it from the sister repo. All per-app data lives in the main repo's release script; the sister owns nothing and is a pure product of the mirror plus the overlay. A comment at the call site explains the staggered minutes.

The sister apps (
LoopFollow_Second,LoopFollow_Third) exist so users following 2–3 loopers can install separate apps with distinct bundle identifiers. They only need to differ from the main app by the bundle identifier and display name — both already driven byapp_suffix/display_nameinLoopFollowDisplayNameConfig.xcconfig. In practice a couple of build files still hardcodedLoopFollow, forcing them to diverge between the repos and making them a recurring merge-conflict source when changes are transferred on each release.This makes those files identical across all three repositories and reworks how they are kept in sync:
fastlane/Fastfile— readsapp_suffixfromLoopFollowDisplayNameConfig.xcconfigand derives the app and Live Activity extension identifiers from it, replacing every hardcodedcom.<team>.LoopFollowin thebuild_LoopFollow,identifiersandcertslanes. The same Fastfile now produces the correct identifiers everywhere:com.<team>.LoopFollow(unchanged)com.<team>.LoopFollow.Secondcom.<team>.LoopFollow.ThirdBecause the derived identifiers match what each repo is already provisioned for, existing certificates and provisioning profiles keep working unchanged.
.github/workflows/build_LoopFollow.yml— the not-configured summary now derives the variant name fromgithub.event.repository.name/UPSTREAM_REPOinstead of hardcoding it, and two comments no longer name the variant. The only intentional per-repo differences left are the scheduledcronminute andUPSTREAM_REPO.release.sh—update_followernow mirrors the release tree into each sister repo withrsync --deleteinstead of generating and applying a patch, then re-applies that instance's overlay (app_suffix,display_name,UPSTREAM_REPO,cron) and renames the workspace. The per-instance values are derived from the sister directory name; only the staggered cron minute is passed in. Mirroring makes each sister an exact copy of the release tree except for the overlay, so transfers no longer hit patch-context conflicts and any accidental drift is corrected automatically. Only.git, local/build directories and the local team override are protected from the sync.
