Domain Language

The language around bijux-canon-index should make retrieval behavior explicit instead of hiding it behind storage or infrastructure words. Search semantics need first-class names.

Prefer These Terms

  • say retrieval behavior, replay, and provenance for index-owned concerns
  • name backend adapters as implementation choices rather than as the meaning of the package
  • name outputs by what they let a caller inspect, compare, or replay

Avoid These Terms

  • avoid calling retrieval execution “just infrastructure”
  • avoid reasoning terms such as claim or verification for index-local outputs
  • avoid generic words like search stuff when a stable retrieval noun exists

Bottom Line

If the vocabulary makes package ownership harder to see, the vocabulary is wrong even if the sentence sounds smooth.
