Summary

Terminology consistency pass over the SBOM guide:

  • 0x45-Cryptographic_Components.md: 'Cryptographic Bill of Material (CBOM)' → 'Cryptography Bill of Materials (CBOM)', matching the CBOM guide's own definition and the BOM-ecosystem overview in 0x10-Introduction.
  • 0x30-Use_Cases.md / 0x52-Linking.md: 'Manufacturing/Hardware Bill of Material' → 'Bill of Materials' (the form used everywhere else, incl. the expansions in 0x10-Introduction).
  • 0x41-Generation.md: 'Pre Build / Post Build / "pre build"' → 'Pre-build / Post-build / "pre-build"', matching the phase names defined in the 0x20-Lifecycle_Phases table.
  • 0x20-Lifecycle_Phases.md: 'Software Development Life Cycle' → 'Lifecycle' for consistency with the chapter title and guide-wide spelling; also fixed the adjacent grammar slip (its' → its).

- 'Cryptographic Bill of Material (CBOM)' -> 'Cryptography Bill of
  Materials (CBOM)', matching the CBOM guide and the ecosystem overview
  in 0x10-Introduction.
- 'Manufacturing Bill of Material (MBOM)' and 'Hardware Bill of
  Material (HBOM)' -> 'Bill of Materials'.
- 'Pre Build'/'Post Build'/'pre build' -> 'Pre-build'/'Post-build'/
  'pre-build', matching the defined phase names in 0x20-Lifecycle_Phases.
- 'Software Development Life Cycle' -> 'Software Development Lifecycle'
  for consistency with guide-wide 'lifecycle' spelling; also fixed the
  adjacent grammar error (its' -> its).
