Description

Proposal in the making.

Decide on terminology for Flux script/file

- CLI docs use "Flux script file" to mean a file that contains "raw" Flux and is used to set the flux property for the task. The option terminology gets confusing with the advent of (invokable) script files that are referenced by tasks.
- See the Cloud API spec for tasks.
- See #4229

Research direction

Start by reading the CLI documentation terminology, the Cloud API spec for tasks, and related issue #4229. Determine where “Flux script file” and invokable script files are distinguished or conflated. Done means the terminology decision is agreed and the affected documentation references are consistently updated.
