/**
 * Normalize evaluated contributor namespaces without losing a distinct
 * registration.
 *
 * Hyphens become underscores in Go package names. Distinct user namespaces that
 * then collide are rejected before exact repeated namespaces keep their first
 * source, preserving config-array folding's established precedence.
 *
 * @evidence contracts/common.md#principled-implementation Collision detection groups original namespace spellings by hyphen-to-underscore Go names before folding exact repetitions, so a distinct registration cannot silently disappear and a repeated spelling retains its first source.
 * @evidence contracts/common.md#clear-and-simple-design The operation owns namespace normalization and repetition precedence after config evaluation; filesystem discovery, contributor resolution and cache lifetime remain with the descriptor resolver.
 * @evidence contracts/common.md#prohibited-implementation-shortcuts Every evaluated entry follows the same normalization and collision rules, without fixture-specific names, foreign mutation or a fallback that discards a distinct colliding namespace.
 * @evidence contracts/common.md#meaningful-documentation Native prose states the Go naming transformation, collision failure and first-source precedence, with descriptive paragraphs separated from acknowledgment tags.
