Name the memory model as RAII, and use the canonical org in links - #3
Merged
Conversation
Paul Hammant pointed out the memory model is never named for what it is. The docs already call it RAII-via-codegen, so the page now leads with that, and states the two things it deliberately does not have: no garbage collector and no borrow checker (docs/memory-management.md is explicit that the escape analysis is not one). Separately, the GitHub org is aether-lang-dev now and aether-lang-org only 301s, so 23 source links plus the generated docs were relying on a redirect. That covers the installer, the CI workflow and the Dockerfile too.

Two unrelated but small changes, both from feedback.
Name the memory model
Paul Hammant pointed out that the page describes what the memory model does without ever naming it.
docs/cross-references/c3.mdalready calls it RAII-via-codegen, so the Memory row now leads with that, and says the two things Aether deliberately does not have:"No borrow checker" is straight from
docs/memory-management.md:282, which says the escape analysis "is not a borrow checker (Aether has none)". Naming all three together is the honest position: the C++ answer to cleanup, without the Go answer or the Rust answer.Point links at the canonical org
The GitHub org is
aether-lang-devnow.aether-lang-orgstill 301s, so nothing was broken, but 23 source links plus every generated doc page were relying on that redirect. This updates them, including the installer shim, the CI workflow and the Dockerfile.Also replaces one em-dash that arrived with the module-system wording, house style is commas.
