OMNIVSThe Silent Failure

OMNI saysFunctions are named verb + cell_type (or verb + tier) — the name declares the job.

§6's function rule: a function's name starts with its verb and includes its cell type/tier, so the name itself states what layer and verb it belongs to. Examples: expressScoutCell, gateMnpiSignal, transcribeIntakeDirective, rememberQuorumArtifact, distillSessionEngine, wakeKernel, archiveQualifiedArtifact, pruneStaleArtifact. Read the name, know the role — no guessing.

The Silent Failure attacks — common mistakes

Generic names hiding the verb/tier
Verb in the name that mismatches the body
Inconsistent naming across the codebase

Boss battleName three functions following verb + cell_type.
