Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I'd like the naming of all the build artifacts to be consistent so I can automate the process of downloading and installing files.

Assets
Proposed technical implementation details

Ensure consistent naming for build artifacts so automation doesn't need to be modified.

Note: This is part of a larger effort to standardize internal build infrastructure and automation for build vs. deploy.

Research direction

No files, tests, or release entry points are named. Start by locating the build and release automation that produces the artifacts, then inventory their current names and the desired consistent convention; done means the build artifacts follow one naming scheme so download and installation automation does not need per-artifact changes.
