What

Brings the DataMesh Python site up to the API-patterns house chapter template and makes it read as follow-along material for engineers. Mirrors the Quarkus pilot (companion PR on datamesh-reference-arch-quarkus).

Changes (all 13 _docs/ chapters)

  • ## Learning objectives at the top — "By the end of this chapter you can:" + 3–5 verb-led bullets.
  • ## Why this matters heading over each chapter's existing intro.
  • ## For deeper coverage as the final section (after any closing section such as "Where to go from here"), citing only real hub reading-list titles and canonical docs — no invented ISBNs/URLs.
  • Moderate readability restructure: split walls of text, added signposting ### subheadings so steps read in build order. Every code block, {% include %} figure, caption, and recorded output preserved verbatim; front matter untouched.
  • Professional-voice pass: cleared all non-"capstone" ban-tier tics (honest/honestly, deliberately, worth noticing, plainly, load-bearing, for free, on purpose, the takeaway, genuine) and reworded two soft-hype section headings.
  • Extra follow-along pass on ch02 (minikube substrate) and ch11 (OpenShift/CRC appendix).

Verification

  • Every chapter has all three sections, correct order, For deeper coverage last.
  • Code-fence parity intact.
  • scripts/forbidden-syntax.sh, scripts/check-cross-references.sh (79 links), scripts/check-liquid-collisions.sh → all clean.
  • lgtm-professional-voice → no non-"capstone" ban-tier remain (one figure caption preserved verbatim).
  • bundle exec jekyll build → clean.
  • Cluster chapters reviewed for readability + obvious correctness only (no live runs, per scope); ch02/ch11 commands cross-checked against the real scripts.

Deliberately out of scope here

The word "capstone" is left untouched throughout. It is both house-voice ban-tier and a real code identifier (Helm chart charts/capstone, proto package capstone, scripts bootstrap-capstone.sh / setup-capstone-profile.sh, -capstone-*.svg figures). A full docs+code rename is planned as a separate follow-up so prose and code stay consistent.

…ll chapters

Bring the DataMesh Python site up to the API-patterns house chapter
template and make it read as follow-along material for engineers,
matching the Quarkus pilot (PR #62 on the Quarkus repo).

- Add `## Learning objectives` (top), `## Why this matters` (over the
  existing intro), and `## For deeper coverage` (final section) to all
  13 _docs chapters.
- Moderate readability restructure: split walls of text, add signposting
  subheadings so steps read in build order. All code, commands,
  `{% include %}` figures, captions, and verified output preserved verbatim.
- Extra follow-along pass on the minikube substrate (ch02) and the
  OpenShift/CRC appendix (ch11); commands cross-checked against the
  real scripts.
- Professional-voice pass: cleared all non-"capstone" ban-tier tics
  (honest/deliberately/worth-noting/load-bearing/for-free/etc.);
  forbidden-syntax, cross-references, liquid-collisions all clean;
  jekyll build green.

Deeper-coverage citations use real hub reading-list titles and canonical
docs only; no invented ISBNs or URLs. The word "capstone" is intentionally
left for a separate docs+code rename follow-up.
