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)

The excerpts are selected from source that exists on disk; each one lands in Phase 7 with two sentences on why it is good code.
The six
| # | Era | Source | What the excerpt shows |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Object-oriented ActionScript | the brief-case builder and the national beer campaign | class design, imports, encapsulation |
| 2 | Hand-written JavaScript engine | the text-effects engine from the site builder (about 2 200 lines) | easing and a timeline core |
| 3 | PHP media pipeline | the media encoder from the site builder (about 3 400 lines) | one encode operation and the FFmpeg piping around it |
| 4 | TypeScript | the vehicle-tracking application's schema and typed service layer | types, interfaces, a router |
| 5 | Embedded C++ | the Wi-Fi manager interface and implementation | interface versus implementation in firmware |
| 6 | Declarative infrastructure | the 25-line Nix package definition | pinned version, verified hash, written exit condition |
Total is roughly 225 lines across twenty years, which is the point: each excerpt is chosen to show judgement rather than volume.
What it proves
That the stack changed six times and the discipline did not. Exhibit 6 is the least common of the six and the most current — a short, correct, self-documenting derivation with an exit plan is a stronger infrastructure signal than a long configuration file.
When it is delivered
Phase 7. Source paths are recorded in the planning notes; nothing is published from a path that has not been read at capture time.
