Terminology question
What is the official Apple name for the “envelope”(my word) that encompasses a clip or clips that you put above the storyline and put dissolves on? These “envelopes” have some interesting rules as to how they behave, and I would like to learn a little bit more about how they work, but no one seems to talk much about them and I don’t know the word to google.

It sounds like you are referring to a “Connected Clip,” which is a clip that you “connect” to a clip on the primary storyline. If you then put dissolves on that connected clip, it becomes a “Connected Storyline.”
If you move the primary storyline to which your connected clip or connected storyline is connected, all of the connected clips and storylines move with it.

The term for the envelope that contains clips in a secondary storyline is the “shelf”.
Individual clips above the primary storyline are simply connected clips, or anchored clips. When one or more of those connected clips are placed in a secondary storyline, a visual shelf is created to contain them. Way back in 2012, Ripple Training discusses this in MacBreak Studio #183:

“Secondary Storyline” turns out to be the buzz word I was looking for. That video was very helpful. Thank you!
