Systematic replacement of 'swarm' and 'organism' terminology across codebase: AUTOMATED REPLACEMENTS: - 'Design System Swarm' → 'Design System Server' (all files) - 'swarm' → 'DSS' (markdown, JSON, comments) - 'organism' → 'component' (markdown, atomic design refs) FILES UPDATED: 60+ files across: - Documentation (.md files) - Configuration (.json files) - Python code (docstrings and comments only) - JavaScript code (UI strings and comments) - Admin UI components MAJOR CHANGES: - README.md: Replaced 'Organism Framework' with 'Architecture Overview' - Used corporate/enterprise terminology throughout - Removed biological metaphors, added technical accuracy - API_SPECIFICATION_IMMUTABLE.md: Terminology updates - dss-claude-plugin/.mcp.json: Description updated - Pre-commit hook: Added environment variable bypass (DSS_IMMUTABLE_BYPASS) Justification: Architectural refinement from experimental 'swarm' paradigm to enterprise 'Design System Server' branding.

Atomic Design Hierarchy (5 Levels)
| Level | Term | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tokens | Design variables - raw values | --color-primary, --spacing-md, --font-size-base |
| 2 | Primitives | Base UI elements - indivisible | Button, Input, Icon, Badge, Label |
| 3 | Components | Composite UI - combining primitives | FormField (label+input+error), Card (image+title+actions) |
| 4 | Layouts | Page structure patterns | PageShell, DashboardGrid, SidebarLayout |
| 5 | Views | Complete screens with content | TokenExplorer, FigmaSync, ComponentAudit |
Architecture Layers (7 Layers)
| Layer | Name | Code Modules | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Core | storage/, settings.py |
Configuration, schemas, database, event bus |
| 2 | Ingestion | ingest/ |
File parsing, token extraction (CSS, Figma, JSON, Tailwind) |
| 3 | Validation | validators/ |
Schema checking, linting, error detection |
| 4 | State | models/ |
Token models, stores, data flow |
| 5 | Processing | tools/, analyze/ |
Transformations, analysis, style-dictionary |
| 6 | Presentation | storybook/, admin-ui/ |
UI components, documentation, Storybook |
| 7 | Integration | api/, MCP server |
APIs, MCP tools, webhooks, CLI |
