site: cut the template's own labels out of the pages

Point 7 of the page-wording review. The pages no longer show their data
structure as headings, and they no longer explain their own conventions.

- Level 1 is one screen: claim, status badge, three figures, the technology
  row, and one sentence carrying one link. Measured in headless Chrome at
  1440x900: 1404-1845 px tall before, exactly 900 px (no scroll) after, on
  all six area pages.
- DocPage: no kicker line, no visible level label, no "Evidence for this
  page" heading or instruction note, no "Drill-downs" list, no
  "Status <word> - sentence" footer. The artefact table starts at level 2,
  under the heading "Artefacts"; the history timeline is level 2 only.
- Landing page: "Start here" link text gone, "How to read this site" panel
  gone, the footer's status-label explainer gone.
- Content, presentation only, no claim softened: the leading H1 that
  duplicated the page title removed from all 41 documents; level 1 bodies
  reduced to the constraint as ordinary prose plus the way in;
  "**Status: ...**" prefixes removed from the artefact stubs; "## Drill-downs"
  and "## Period and confidence" removed from the level 2 pages, with the
  cross-area links moved into the prose.
- The six level 1 claims are now sentences with a subject, and use commas
  instead of middots. Same facts, no new ones.

Not in this commit: the 35 level 2 and 3 claims still use the compact CV
style. That is a voice decision for Sam, not a wording tidy-up.

make validate: 41 documents, 0 violations. go test ./...: pass.

# About
**Claim.** A career built by self-teaching — from a childhood in the 1980s with a borrowed language reference, through fifteen years of agency delivery, a working life outside technology, and five years overseas — now concentrated on AI systems, the platforms they run on, and the hardware at the edge.
**Status.** Current. Melbourne based, and flexible about how the work is done — remote, hybrid, office, or travel.
**What this page is for.** The other five areas prove what can be built. This one explains where the judgement came from: a non-technical working life, a fine-arts and philosophy education, and a period spent building a business while raising two children.
**Start here.** [The narrative](about-narrative.md) — including an honest account of 2020 to 2026.
The other five areas prove what can be built; this one explains where the judgement came from. The narrative, including 2020 to 2026, is on the [narrative page](about-narrative.md).
