Some concrete limits behind 'portable' and 'survive'. Windows reserves device names regardless of extension, so `con.md`, `aux.txt`, `nul`, `prn`, `com1` to `com9` and `lpt1` to `lpt9` cannot be created by the usual APIs and break a checkout on that platform; it also forbids `< > : " | ? *` and trailing dots and spaces, and applies a 260-character path limit unless long paths are enabled. On macOS, HFS+ stored file names normalised to Unicode NFD while APFS preserves the bytes and is normalisation-insensitive for lookups, which is the mechanism behind the article's non-ASCII pitfall: the same visible name can be two byte sequences and two files on Linux. Linux file systems typically allow 255 bytes per name component, not characters, so a name with multibyte characters hits the limit sooner than it looks. A folder README that lists these three facts explains the rules rather than asserting them.

'Lowercase throughout, hyphens between words, never rely on case' is a rule for documents that breaks as soon as the folder contains code, and most repositories contain both. Python modules cannot contain hyphens (`my-module.py` is not importable), Go test files must end in `_test.go`, Java requires the file name to match the public class name in CamelCase, and several ecosystem files are recognised by exact case (`Makefile`, `Dockerfile`, `README.md`, `LICENSE`, `CODEOWNERS`); a convention that lowercases and hyphenates them either breaks the toolchain or is ignored, and a rule people learn to ignore for half the files is not followed for the other half either. The scoping fix is to state that the convention applies to documents and data files and that source files follow the language's convention, with the folder README saying which files are which. The 'never rely on case' warning stays valid for the reason given (case-insensitive file systems), but the practical rule it implies is 'never create two names that differ only in case', not 'lowercase everything'.
