ADR 01: Name the experiment Zigar

Date: 2026-06-16

Context

The experiment needed a working name before the dossier could refer to it consistently.

Decision

Use Zigar as the working name.

Consequences

The name carries two jokes that set the tone: Zigarette (writing low-level native Zig inside a high-level Lisp can feel a little dirty, like smoking) and an inverted "close, but no cigar" (a narrowly achieved success, not a near miss). It reads small and sharp, which matches the proof-of-concept scope.

Alternatives

Zigarette in full was considered; Zigar is shorter and cleaner while keeping the same joke.
