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.

The roles are final; the presentation lands in Phase 7.
## The roles
| Role | Where | What it involved |
|---|---|---|
| Chalet chef | Merribel, France | Meals for chalet guests, kitchen operations, menu planning, dietary requirements, in a high-pressure alpine season |
| Wine waiter | South Australia and Victoria | Premium wine regions, varietals, food pairing |
| Horseback tour guide | Victorian high country | Guided tours, rider safety, horse welfare, trail navigation |
| Stable construction | Mount Beauty, Victoria | A 24-bay stable build — project management, budgeting, hands-on construction |
| Civil servant | Victorian State Government, Melbourne | Administrative and operational support to state-level programs |
| Horse trainer and stable hand | Sunbury, Victoria | Care and training of thoroughbreds, exercise, grooming, race-day preparation |
## What it proves
That the engineering sits on a wider working life. Kitchen service and production incidents share a shape; guiding strangers on horses in the high country is risk management with consequences; a stable build is a budget and a schedule held by hand. These are the reasons the technical pages read as practical rather than academic.
## Why this is on a technical site
Because leaving it out would make the career look narrower than it is, and because the years it occupies are otherwise unexplained.
## Coverage limit
Descriptions are limited to what the résumé and the evidence notes corroborate. Roles, employers' towns and the type of work are stated; no employer is named beyond the region, and no claim is made about scale, revenue or headcount that the sources do not carry.
