Documenter 286aa12bb0 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.

artefact

The topology diagram and a short recording of ducking land in Phase 7.

What the artefact is

A Snapserver with eight Pi clients, Spotify and a local music server as sources, and one behaviour that matters more than the rest: when the house needs to speak, the music drops and the announcement plays everywhere, then the music returns to its previous level. Requests arrive by voice, so the same system that plays music is also the output for every automation and every answer.

What it proves

Multi-room audio treated as infrastructure with a predictable interruption behaviour — and the difference between "the speakers work" and "the speakers can be interrupted safely". Mains-powered nodes, bandwidth-heavy work, and a state machine for volume: the opposite design constraints to the battery nodes.

When it is delivered
