Registry laws: One name = one foil, permanently — names never transfer between materials. Gold diamond belongs to ALPHA alone; no variation may use "Gold Diamond." "Prism" is a material family (label badge), never a variation name. Two-tone families: base name = silver/default, color-suffixed = variant (Nuclear / Nuclear Gold, Guilloché / Guilloché Gold, Atomic / Atomic Void — approved suffixes: Gold, Void). One word preferred, two-word names only when established (Sky Blue Diamond, Metal Chrome, Velvet Fine Art, Pink Fizz). The gem spine is the core register — new names default there unless the foil clearly belongs to another lane. Rose-gold-adjacent foils never share a randomized pool with an ALPHA. "Finish" is a banned word — always "variation" or "surface."
