Research direction

Open discovery/readme.md at lines 77–86 and review clause 5.1, then read the overview and the clause explaining the identifier. Move that explanatory clause immediately after the overview and ensure the first use is written as “TEA (Transparency Exchange Identifier)”; confirm later references use the defined term consistently.

Description

TEI Discovery

https://github.com/CycloneDX/transparency-exchange-api/blob/70653a9b4fe8032e13ee12cdc8c4f7c6d3a6aae5/discovery/readme.md?plain=1#L77-L86

"TEI" is used repeatedly before it's described or explained. "TEI" should be written out as "TEA (Transparency Exchange Identifier) in clause 5.1, and the clause explaining it should come immediately after the overview.
