Renames a device in the RUAL registry. It does NOT rename it at the radio : the Zigbee2MQTT friendly name and the Hue bridge name are unchanged, so those apps keep showing the old name. Empty pins leave that field alone, so this can set a room without touching the name.

A typical wiring for device rename: a function trigger starts the flow; the flow out pin feeds debug.
