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.

# History
**Claim.** Fifteen years of agency and product work — national campaigns, bank and broadcaster platforms, betting front-ends, and a lot of rescue missions — for twenty-two agencies and twenty-three brands.
**Status.** Historic. This is the 1999–2014 era, presented as what it was: the commercial apprenticeship that produced the range.
**What it is not.** It is not a Flash page. The languages changed six times across this period — ActionScript, PHP, JavaScript, React, Python, and now Go with HTMX — and the exhibits are chosen to show that rather than to show a decade.
**Start here.** [The engagement record](history-engagements.md) explains the eras, the work and what each exhibit demonstrates.
