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.

# Products
**Claim.** A digital signage product built as deliberate disruption to thousand-dollar wall systems — three businesses still run it — plus the site builder that produced the marketing sites and a lost-property tag system that is deployed but not yet sold.
**Status.** Running. The counts are the corrected ones: three businesses active now, twelve adoptions over time, and Where-Woof deployed without a market launch.
**Why it is on an engineering CV.** Selling, deploying and still supporting software for other businesses is a different discipline from writing it. Two of the three products carry honest caveats that are stated rather than hidden: the signage platform is being rebuilt, and Where-Woof has not gone to market.
**Start here.** [The commercial story](products-business.md) covers what each product is, what state it is in, and what it cost to run.
Building, selling, deploying and still supporting software for other businesses is a different discipline from writing it, and the caveats on these three products are stated rather than hidden. The commercial story is on the [products page](products-business.md).
