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. (cherry picked from commit 03009f80fc7815ad7719412e125df9297a6e653f)

||
## Music
|
||
Blues and jazz piano and blues harp; played in two bands. Studied music composition at university and kept the piano as the thing that resets the week.
|
||
|
||
## Fine art
|
||
A fine arts degree and a continuing practice. Drawing and painting taught patience with iteration, which is most of debugging.
|
||
|
||
## Philosophy
|
||
A degree's worth of it, and it is where the habit of asking what a thing is actually for came from.
|
||
|
||
## Skiing
|
||
Italy, France, Japan and Australia. Six months based in Meribel in the French Alps as a chalet chef, including the Vallée Blanche glacier run.
|
||
|
||
## Camping
|
||
Hiking, camping and canoeing, mostly in Victoria. Most recent: a two-day hike through Wilsons Promontory with a group of teenagers in tow.
|
||
|
||
## Canoeing
|
||
The Yarra, the Otways and the Murray.
|
||
|
||
## Horse riding
|
||
Grew up riding in the Otways; broke horses from track work back to dressage; guided tours in the Victorian high country; competed in dressage for two years.
|
||
|
||
## Surfing
|
||
Grew up between Lorne and the Otways, on waves and horses.
|
||
|
||
## Hiking
|
||
The walking version of the camping answer: long days, small pack, no phone signal.
|
||
|
||
## Global politics
|
||
The master's was in it. Reading it is a habit, not a credential to display.
|
||
|
||
## Reading
|
||
History, philosophy, politics, economics — the same four subjects as the degrees, which is either consistency or a rut.
|
||
|
||
## Cooking
|
||
Worked in many restaurants and as chef in a five-star chalet in Meribel, France.
|
||
|
||
## Gardening
|
||
Permaculture and a wood-chip, low-input approach to self-sufficiency, with sensors and automation doing the boring parts.
|
||
|
||
## Food production
|
||
Bees, salami and cheese. Two hives, and salami made annually from four pigs with Italian friends in Benalla.
|
||
|
||
## Italy and travel
|
||
Five years spent overseas, travelling extensively, with Italy as the standing preference.
|
||
|
||
## What was deleted, and why
|
||
|
||
The previous site claimed venues, competition results, swell sizes, distances and named restaurants. None of it could be traced. It has been cut rather than corrected: a single true sentence is worth more than ten specific ones that cannot be substantiated, and an interviewer who asks a follow-up question is entitled to an answer that survives it.
|
||
|
||
## Coverage limit
|
||
|
||
Everything above traces to Sam's own notes. Anything not in those notes is absent, not paraphrased.
