docs(naming): reflect [LAZY CONSENSUS] state in README + MISSION (#143)
The 8–12 May 2026 founding-PMC bikeshed has converged on four
names in priority order. A [LAZY CONSENSUS] call is in flight
on the founding-PMC mailing thread (closing Friday 15 May 12:00
UTC); a parallel formal trademark suitability check is in flight
with [email protected].
1. Apache Magpie — primary
2. Apache Beacon — backup 1
3. Apache Guild — backup 2
4. Apache Lichen — backup 3
The first to clear trademarks@'s review becomes the final name
that the 20 May Board resolution carries.
Updates the README's "Heads-up" preamble (dropping the now-stale
"9 candidates, poll opens 4-9 May" wording) and MISSION.md's
"Proposed Names" section. No other docs touched — the candidate
list lives in two places by intent.

## Proposed Names
-The initial committee will discuss and vote on the final name. Starting
candidates (the list isn't closed — anyone on the initial committee can pitch a
different name):
-
-- Apache Mentor
-- Apache Guild
-- Apache Minerva
-- Apache Magpie
-- Apache Beacon
-- Apache Compass
-- Apache Lexicon
-- Apache Polyglot
+The founding-PMC bikeshed ran 8–12 May 2026; convergence is on **four names in
priority order**, ratified by a [LAZY CONSENSUS] call closing **Friday 15 May
2026, 12:00 UTC** and a parallel `[email protected]` review. The first of
these to clear `trademarks@`'s formal review becomes the final name:
+
+1. **Apache Magpie** — primary
+2. **Apache Beacon** — backup 1
+3. **Apache Guild** — backup 2
+4. **Apache Lichen** — backup 3
+
+The Board resolution will carry whichever name clears `trademarks@` before
**Friday 15 May evening**.
