Fire + Frost + Foundation 💙🔥❄️
Removed docs/tasks/firefrost:-the-eternal-skyforge-(flagship-modpack)/
which was a stub directory with only a basic README.
Replaced by docs/tasks/flagship-modpack-eternal-skyforge/ which has
the complete 600+ line design document created today.
Directory naming now follows standard conventions (no colons or parens).
Removed docs/tasks/department-structure-&-access-control-matrix/
which was a duplicate of docs/tasks/department-structure/
The newer department-structure/ directory follows FFG-STD-002
task documentation standard and is more comprehensive.
This resolves the duplicate commit issue visible in git history.
Expanded brief naming doc into comprehensive guide:
- Clear definitions of Firefrost (brand) vs Frostwall (security)
- Etymology and conceptual alignment explained
- Common mistakes with corrections
- Quick reference decision tree
- Implementation checklist
- Communication guidelines
- Examples of correct usage
- Audit commands to find incorrect usage
Ran audit: No incorrect usage found in current documentation.
All instances of mixed terminology are in example/warning contexts.
