# Story 277: Matrix bot uses its configured name instead of "Claude"

## User Story

As a Matrix user, I want the bot to identify itself by its configured name (e.g., "Timmy") rather than "Claude", so that the bot feels like a distinct personality in the chat.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] The Matrix bot refers to itself by its configured display name (e.g., 'Timmy') in conversations, not 'Claude'
- [ ] The bot's self-referencing name is derived from configuration, not hardcoded
- [ ] If no custom name is configured, the bot falls back to a sensible default

## Out of Scope

- TBD
