Parascriptural word alignment removed as a flavor without a tracked decision #350

Description

@jonathanrobie

Background

schema/parascriptural/word_alignment.schema.json was removed from the develop branch. The parascriptural word alignment flavor has been superseded by the alignment flavor type, which is now the standard way to represent word-level alignment between texts.

This removal was made without a tracked issue documenting the decision.

What was removed

  • schema/parascriptural/word_alignment.schema.json
  • Associated documentation (docs/flavors/parascriptural_word_alignment_flavor.rst)
  • The parascriptural flavor type name from relationship.schema.json

Rationale

The alignment flavor (type.flavorType.name: "alignment") covers this use case. Having two separate mechanisms for word alignment creates confusion.

Open questions

  • Are there any existing burritos using the parascriptural word alignment flavor that need a migration path?
  • Should the relationship.schema.json explicitly note that alignment is the successor?
