Hello!

Thanks to you all. Unfortunately, the environment variables $TEXMACS_HOME_PATH and $TEXMACS_PATH were empty, but I found it. Nonetheless, after changing all of the instances of the string in that directory, it still persisted. In the end, it worked after I removed the .TeXmacs directory from my home directory, where apparently the string was in many files in the ~/.TeXmacs/system/cache directory. (Presumably I could have just changed those files, but removing the .TeXmacs directory also worked, and TeXmacs recreated a new one.)

Thanks again, and best wishes,

Antonio

Fix small typo in the answer:

A more permanent redefinition (at the user level) is to copy that file
into  $TEXMACS_HOME_PATH/packages/header/header-article.ts

$TEXMACS_HOME_PATH with underscore---I think, the whole
$TEXMACS_HOME_PATH is an environment variable
