The consolidated story of the two settled names: the register-based philosophy (value words describe; milieu names must refer; vocabulary nouns are tested in speech; identity belongs to the registry), all three rubrics, the Hex/System/MakerKit/Prisma App failure history, why Module and Compose won, the candidates that lost, and the transferable lessons. Linked as the naming entry point from the product README.

Naming a tool after its output is a red flag that predicts referential failure, not a hard rule that decides by itself — the referential frames (workbench, bare token, identity) are what decide. Drops the "every mention parses as the artifact / no prefix can rescue it" over-claim from the names reference and the rubric.
