I came up with shortened file names using a best guess from the titles 
at what would be descriptive and unique, but without any real knowledge 
of that the intended technique actually was. You're welcome to use a 
different name if you like. I suggest you create a branch with the name 
you want, off the branch having the name you don't want, then rename the 
file with "git mv". If you'd like me to take care of it, just send the 
new name and the name of the branch you want replaced.

This is a question for the style guide we hope to eventually produce. 
Basically we made a decision to shorten code examples to focus on just 
the parts most relevant to the technique, not the full code the might be 
needed for it to run. This is so people don't get lost in the weeds 
trying to understand the examples. Working examples, by contrast, would 
have the full working code.

That could be a style guide question to pose; I don't really have an 
opinion.

It's on my todo list to help sort out the working examples better. My 
current thinking, though not fully vetted, is that the working examples 
will be stored in wcag21/working-examples/, with each working example 
(and its dependent files) in a subdirectory named in some understableish 
way like the technique files. There could also be top-level folders for 
styles, scripts, and images to contain resources that might be useful to 
share among multiple working examples. I'll try to get a better proposal 
this week.
