I don’t know how difficult this is, but slightly out-there idea for tutorial:

On the opening screen, where the bot starts, have the instructions pasted on the ground. LEFT CLICK TO MOVE, RIGHT CLICK TO FIRE, etc etc.

When the bot moves away, make the instructions disappear.

Or maybe just have a small help screen pop up when you press H, or something.

Oh, you had a great name for your other game. Just because you threw it away is no reason not to use it here.

Omniscan
Scanadia
Combot (from Half Life)
Salvage Detective..?

If you’re having hard time deciding, you can have multiple, random subtitles, like in Minecraft or Dwarf Fortress (though I think the Dwarf Fortress subtitles devolve directly from gameplay).

If you had made the scan some sort of “grapple” mini-game you could call it QuazaScan.

I don’t exactly get the Scanno Domini pun, but I think it would be a good title if you were able to reprogram enemies after scanning them, to put them on your side.

Also, I think your priority order is correct. A good way to accomplish the player guidence thing is make a title screen to the game that has the option of viewing the controls, and maybe some helpful minor hints.
