Record
Deprecated by the Linear TAX-45 reviewed implementation contract because one combined identity could not distinguish broken herringbone from continuous chevron motifs. Zigzag preserves the non-specific historical meaning; use the narrower herringbone or chevron concept when evidence supports it.
