Changing network constants is sufficient only when the target chain retained Bitcoin-compatible headers, transactions, scripts and difficulty behaviour. Forks often alter address encoding, timestamp rules, auxiliary proof data or daemon RPC responses. Each difference must be represented in both client verification and server indexing.
We derive fixtures from the maintained node and compare transaction identifiers, header hashes, script hashes and signatures across implementations. If the coin has diverged beyond the assumptions embedded in Electrum, we will recommend a different wallet architecture rather than preserve a misleading Electrum label.
