Workspace abbreviations glossary
Machine-readable catalog of Forge workspace abbreviations, lifecycle shorthand, discipline codes, and disambiguation bridges. Canonical human prose lives in docs/WORKSPACE-ABBREVIATIONS.md and blueprints/sdlc/methodologies/forge/WORKSPACE-ABBREVIATIONS.md. Repo folders are under ~/Code/ unless noted; handbook shells deploy to Firebase Hosting.
Canonical catalog: docs/workspace-abbreviations/catalog.yaml — run python3 scripts/generate-workspace-abbreviations.py, then ./sync-workspace-abbreviations.sh.
