Wave 1 / Step 1 of v5.1.0 plain-language UX humanizer.
tests/lint-forbidden-words.json defines the SC-3 forbidden-words
vocabulary used by the lint runner (Wave 4 / Step 8) and the
humanizer-data translation guard (Wave 1 / Step 2).
- Tier 1: 19 absolute prohibitions (failure if matched in default
output) — sourced from Microsoft Writing Style Guide, Federal
Plain Language, GOV.UK, Google Developer Style, Apple HIG.
- Tier 2: 24 strong-avoidance terms (warning if matched) — same
sources plus Mailchimp.
- Tier 3: 12 domain-specific jargon terms (failure if matched in
default output, allowed in --raw and --json paths) — sourced
from research/03 jargon table.
Counts diverge from plan.md (18/21/11) — JSON tracks the brief's
verbatim lists at research/03 lines 200-202 plus tier3 hook entry
from the brief's table. Plan revision noted in audit-doc.
Test: 10 cases verifying parse, count, schema completeness, spot
checks per tier, no cross-tier duplicates. All pass.
Regression: 645/645 tests (635 + 10 new).
