Catch2 compatibility means the API tests are written in: the macros, such
as TEST_CASE and REQUIRE, and the Catch:: namespace. It does not mean
Catch2's build names or header paths. find_package(Catch2) found Catch3,
and a project using both frameworks met two packages, two sets of targets,
two Catch.cmake modules and two catch2/ header trees with the same names.

Build names:
- CMake: project and package Catch3, targets Catch3::Catch3 and
  Catch3::Catch3WithMain, libraries Catch3 and Catch3Main, options
  CATCH3_*, lib/cmake/Catch3 with Catch3Config, and pkg-config catch3 and
  catch3-with-main. The version is Catch3's, 0.3.0, compatible within a
  minor version.
- The CMake scripts are Catch3.cmake (catch3_discover_tests),
  Catch3AddTests.cmake and Catch3ShardTests.cmake
  (catch3_add_sharded_tests); the helpers they define at ctest time have a
  catch3_ prefix. ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake, deprecated upstream, is gone.
- Bazel //:catch3 and //:catch3_main, Meson catch3 and catch3-with-main
  (with override_dependency), Xmake catch3 and catch3_main, Premake Catch3
  and Catch3WithMain. Visual Studio projects get GUIDs of their own.
- The Progmasoft::Catch3 target and package are gone: property testing
  and snapshots are part of Catch3::Catch3. Their sources now build with
  the library's warning flags, so property failures are built field by
  field (no missing initializers) and the default property name is a
  thread-local pointer to the name its scope owns (no global destructor).

Headers: the engine moved from src/catch2 to src/Progmasoft/Catch3 with
Progmasoft names, so &lt;catch2/catch_test_macros.hpp&gt; is
&lt;Progmasoft/Catch3/TestMacros.hpp&gt;, &lt;catch2/matchers/catch_matchers_string.hpp&gt;
is &lt;Progmasoft/Catch3/Matchers/String.hpp&gt;, and interface headers are named
after their interface, such as Interfaces/IConfig.hpp. Include guards
became #pragma once. The installed headers go to include/Progmasoft.
src/Progmasoft/Context.cpp is StrategyContext.cpp, so no two sources share
a file name.

tools/scripts/upstreamFiles.txt lists the files that come from Catch2.
The license check expects BSL-1.0 on them and Progmasoft's header on the
rest of src/Progmasoft; the convenience-header check, the amalgamation
script and the surrogate tests take the engine's headers from it. The
amalgamated files are regenerated. The header-guard workflow checks for
#pragma once instead of checkguard.

Documents, the README and the release notes describe the new names.
