We discussed this issue at 📌 Drupal Usability Meeting 2025-04-11 Active . That issue will have a link to a recording of the meeting.

For the record, the attendees at the usability meeting were benjifisher, rkoller, and simohell.

We are not familiar with the code base and the various ways that "stage" is used, but we tried to suggest some guidelines for naming things.

First, we agree with the first suggestion in the Proposed Resolution. If adding "directory" is too long, then use "staging" or "staged", not "stage" in the context of the staging directory. For example: use StagingBase or StagingDirectoryBase instead of StageBase.

Second, use "phase" or "step" instead of "stage" when you can. Use "step" if it is possible to move back, or "phase" if only one direction is possible.

I hope those suggestions are helpful!
