Weft hub — terminology registry

Lean registry of terms whose usage within this hub must stay consistent. (Cross-product product vocabulary lives in ../glossary.md; this registry governs the hub's own writing.) Audit: the consistency check verifies these terms are used as defined and not as synonyms.

Term Hub meaning Don't say
member One of the 5 realized federation products (Loomweave, Filigree, Wardline, Legis, Charter) Don't call Shuttle or Lacuna a "member"
thought-bubble Shuttle's status: a roadmap idea, no repo, displaceable Don't call Shuttle "proposed member" or imply a reserved slot
demonstration specimen Lacuna's role: the deliberately-flawed target the suite runs against Don't call Lacuna a member or a customer
SEI Stable Entity Identity — opaque, Loomweave-minted; the identity Don't equate SEI with the locator
locator {plugin_id}:{kind}:{qualname} — the mutable address, demoted from identity by ADR-038 Don't call the locator an "identity" or "entity id (identity)"
enrich-only Composition that adds capability without being required for the other's semantics Don't call any integration "load-bearing" (the failure mode)
asterisk A documented axiom violation with a written retirement condition Don't use "asterisk" for an undocumented coupling
generation (HTTP) A named, pinnable Filigree API surface (classic, weft) Don't confuse with the closed weft:// URI scheme
authoritative here This hub is the source of truth for the doc's subject Don't mark a member's surface facts "authoritative here"
snapshot A point-in-time, non-authoritative copy of a volatile repo fact Don't present a snapshot as current/authoritative
promoted A doc relocated from a repo into the hub as the new canonical home
