To what extent can I change an AGPL project?

Question

Is it legal to fork an AGPL project and change names and namespaces? All the work will be public and available to users.

The AGPL license allows you to change anything and everything within the project, except

the license. The modified project must remain under the AGPL license
the copyright lines. You are not allowed to remove or modify existing copyright lines -- except when completely removing a file; no need to keep a file that consists only of copyright information --, but you can add your own copyright line.

sorry for asking too much. I am trying to rebrand the AGPL project into a new project with some additional features. while keeping all the work public. Is that legit? – maher bta Dec 14 '23 at 09:47
