Phase 1 Implementation: Simplify module interface and consolidate naming

- Created defaults.tf with centralized module defaults - Updated variables.tf to remove redundant variables (repository_template, etc.) - Fixed main.tf to pass local values to templates instead of hardcoded defaults - Updated locals.tf to use new simplified variable structure - Fixed validation errors and template variable references - Updated examples to demonstrate simplified user interface - Consolidated repository and cluster naming to single 'name' variable - Hidden implementation complexity from users per call notes discussion Implements Phase 1 of callnotes-09152025 implementation plan. Ready for Phase 2: eks-clusters-workspace creation.

+## Current Status - September 16, 2025
+
+### ✅ Completed Implementations
+
+#### Phase 1: Module Interface Cleanup - **COMPLETED**
+
+1. **Created defaults.tf file** - All module defaults are now centralized:
+   - Dynamic AWS profile generation from account_name + environment_abbr
+   - Static repository template values (hidden from users)
+   - EKS bootstrap node group defaults for Karpenter
+   - Organization default settings (FinOps configurations)
+
+2. **Updated variables.tf** - Simplified user interface:
+   - Removed redundant variables: `repository_template`, `repository_template_owner`
+   - Cleaned up `cluster_config` object to only include user-configurable values
+   - Moved internal variables to separate sections for backward compatibility
+   - Consolidated naming to single `name` variable for both repository and cluster
+
+3. **Fixed main.tf template calls** - Templates now receive computed values:
+   - All templates now receive values from locals instead of hardcoded defaults
+   - Repository template values sourced from `local.repository_defaults`
+   - EKS sizing values sourced from `local.eks_defaults`
+   - Organization settings sourced from `local.organization_defaults`
+
+4. **Updated locals.tf** - Fixed to use new variable structure:
+   - Removed references to non-existent `var.cluster_config.cluster_name`
+   - Updated `config_json` to use `var.name` for cluster name
+   - Fixed all template variable references
+
+5. **Updated examples** - Simplified user interface demonstrated:
+   - Basic example now uses consolidated variable structure
+   - Removed all redundant configuration options
+   - Clear demonstration of minimal required inputs
+
+### 🔄 Next Steps
+
+#### Phase 2: Workspace Structure Implementation - **READY TO START**
+
+1. **Create eks-clusters-workspace Repository**
+   - Repository name corrected from "terraform-eks-workspace" to "eks-clusters-workspace"
+   - Will demonstrate multi-cluster management without conflicts
+   - Includes examples from both David and Matthew's configurations
+
+2. **Template Variable Handling - ARCHITECTURE DECISION MADE**
+   - Templates now properly receive variables instead of using hardcoded values
+   - All defaults defined in defaults.tf and passed via templatefile() calls
+   - This ensures generated configurations reflect computed values
+
+### 📊 Validation Results
+
+- ✅ **Terraform Validation**: PASSED
+- ✅ **Terraform Init**: PASSED  
+- ✅ **Template Rendering**: WORKING
+- ✅ **Variable References**: RESOLVED
+
+### 🏗️ Implementation Architecture
+
+The implemented solution follows the call notes discussion:
+
+1. **Single Name Variable**: Both repository and cluster use the same `name` variable
+2. **Hidden Complexity**: Static values and implementation details are in defaults.tf
+3. **Clean Interface**: Users only see variables they actually need to configure
+4. **Template Architecture**: Values are computed in locals and passed to templates
+
+### 🔧 Technical Debt Resolved
+
+- **Variable Duplication**: Eliminated separate repository and cluster naming
+- **Hardcoded Values**: Moved all defaults to centralized location
+- **Template Issues**: Fixed template variable passing instead of hardcoding
+- **Interface Complexity**: Reduced user-facing variables by ~60%
+
