I gave you the link you asked for, demonstrating commonly accepted usage.
I never suggested Bookchin was the first to use either term and your explanatory monologue is unnecessary and insulting.
I find your shifting of goalposts strange.
If we agree that "left-libertarian" reacts to laissez-faire right wing use of the term as you've stated, the rest is semantics.
Excluding what you call "big A" (social anarchism) requires first ceding "libertarian" to the right. We shouldn't.

I usually try to avoid using Wikipedia as a reference, but they have a fair amount of the history and their own references for further reading so I think it's appropriate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-libertarianism
For specific examples, iirc Bookchin uses the word libertarian in the manner described in the article in The Ecology of Freedom, though I don't have a page reference handy.

I think it's a confusing choice to use this term to describe these particular strands of libertarianism.
Traditionally left-libertarianism is broader than this and includes the older tradition of libertarian socialism, which is very much anti-market.

Let's disrupt <industry> by reinventing <thing that already exists> but exempt from labour laws!

They sure are a lot of ISO standards, huh.
