Product terminology is governed domain data
Public and internal nouns have definitions, owners, lifecycle, locale mappings, aliases, and replacements.
Guidance
Map terms to stable concepts across copy, code, API, analytics, support, and localization; lint lifecycle violations.
Do
- Return a reason and replacement with every lint finding
- Coordinate deprecation across every affected surface
Do not
- Treat an alias as automatically approved copy
- Autofix when grammar makes replacement ambiguous
Verification contract
Schema, duplicate-concept, alias-collision, lifecycle, locale, and golden-fixture tests
