0044 — Cluster and Special-Formation Naming Convention

Status

Folded into DATA_MODELS/galaxy.md (2026-06-19). Cluster.name and SpecialFormation.name are UNIQUE within (region_id, name) and AI-generated at bang time; Region · Sector is the canonical small-form coordinate and the cluster name is the discoverable identity.

Context

Resolved the human-facing ambiguity of cross-region duplicate cluster and formation names by making both unique within a region and naming them deterministically at bang time.

Folded into

The durable rule now lives in DATA_MODELS/galaxy.md (Cluster.name UNIQUE constraint), FEATURES/galaxy/special-formations.md (formation-name uniqueness), and SYSTEMS/galaxy-generator-design.md (the bang-time naming pass). This record is retained for decision history per the append-only ADR policy.
