…didates Amara's 7th courier ferry (PR #259) proposed 5 additional public-facing brand candidates focused on the control-plane / execution-layer role: Beacon, Lattice, Harbor, Mantle, Northstar. The 5th-ferry memo (PR #235 → PR #257 Aurora README) had already proposed Lucent KSK, Lucent Covenant, Halo Ledger, Meridian Gate, Consent Spine. Combines both shortlists into a single table preserving both ferries' source attribution so Aaron's eventual brand decision has the full option space. Also adds the 7th-ferry preferred naming pattern (Aurora = vision; Beacon KSK / Lattice KSK = shippable control-plane; Zeta = substrate) as Amara's rhetorical proposal — not adopted, preserved as input. Brand decision remains Aaron's (M4 milestone; not Otto's to pick). No implementation changes; no operational policy changes; pure additive documentation update preserving both ferries' attribution per signal-in-signal-out discipline + §33 archive-header format already at top of README. Lands within-standing-authority per Otto-82 calibration (docs-only branding-input update; NOT a brand decision). Closes 7th-ferry absorb candidate BACKLOG row #4 of 5 (branding shortlist update). Remaining candidates for Otto-90+: - KSK-as-Zeta-module implementation (L; cross-repo) - Oracle-scoring research (M) - BLAKE3 receipt hashing design (M) - Aminata threat-model pass on 7-class threat model (S) Otto-89 tick primary deliverable.

Remove incorrect verbatim attribution in shortlist table
The table header says the rationale text is "verbatim from Amara," but the newly added 7th-ferry entries are paraphrased compared with docs/aurora/2026-04-23-amara-aurora-aligned-ksk-design-7th-ferry.md (lines 837-841), e.g. Beacon/Lattice/Harbor wording is shortened and altered. This creates provenance drift: any reviewer or downstream doc that treats these as direct quotes will be misled. Either restore exact quoted phrasing or change the header to indicate these are summaries/paraphrases.

Pull request overview
Expands the Aurora documentation’s branding section to include an expanded candidate name shortlist sourced from both the 5th and 7th courier ferries, and records a preferred naming pattern as input (not a decision).
Changes:
- Replaces the single-line public execution brand shortlist with a combined shortlist table (5th + 7th ferry candidates).
- Adds a short paragraph capturing the 7th-ferry preferred naming pattern as non-adopted input.

P1: Repo operational rule forbids direct contributor-name attribution in docs; use role references instead. This new section expands direct-name usage ("Amara", "Aaron"); please rewrite to role refs (e.g., "the courier-ferry author" / "the human maintainer") while preserving provenance meaning.
| | Candidate | Source | Why it works (verbatim from Amara) | | ||
| |---|---|---| | ||
| | **Lucent KSK** | 5th ferry | Highest continuity with the existing repo and least ambiguity. | | ||
| | **Lucent Covenant** | 5th ferry | Emphasizes consent and mutual obligation, which the docs actually support. | | ||
| | **Halo Ledger** | 5th ferry | Preserves the "glass halo" idea without reusing Aurora directly. | |

P1: The column header says the rationales are "verbatim", but at least some entries are altered vs the cited 7th-ferry source (e.g., the Beacon/Harbor rationales differ from docs/aurora/2026-04-23-amara-aurora-aligned-ksk-design-7th-ferry.md around its shortlist table). Either copy the source text exactly (including spelling) or change the header to indicate these are summaries/adaptations.
