listing (lite) failed in the 1.41 release:

[!] An exception has occurred for locale: en-US.
Error: The provided entity includes an attribute with a value that has already been
used on a different account. - The app name you entered is already being used

fastlane/metadata-lite/all/name.txt asked for OpenDocument Reader. That name
belongs to an account that is not ours, and searching the store does not find it -
a name can be reserved on a record that never ships, and it blocks everyone else
while staying invisible.

The file now asks for OpenDocument Reader - view ODT, which is what the app is
already called, so this asserts the current name rather than changing anything.
Thirty characters exactly, which is the store's limit.

name.txt arrived with the store copy in #162 and had never been uploaded until
this release, which is why no earlier run caught it. ${name} is used nowhere in
the metadata - the only fill-in is ${ads} - so nothing else reads this file.

Pro was unaffected: it asks for OpenDocument Reader Pro, which went through.

Checked

store_listing.py --version 1.41 still stages and passes.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

App Store Connect refuses "OpenDocument Reader": the name is held by an
account that is not ours, and it is not on the store to be found - a
name reserved and never shipped still blocks everyone else.

So the listing asks for the name the app has carried all along. It went
in with the store copy before the last release and had never been
uploaded until now, which is why nothing caught it earlier.
