Second linux-systems-programming consistency-program PR (prose voice).

  • ~2700 em dashes recast across all 57 _docs chapters: apposition→colon, two clauses→two sentences/semicolon, parentheticals→commas/parens. Figure captions, excalidraw alt text, Tools-used callouts, front-matter, and status footers included.
  • Cleared confessional ("honest/plainly"), defensive contrast ("genuine/real/on purpose/for free"), meta-narration ("worth naming", "rest of the book"), generated tells ("load-bearing/earns its keep"), school framing, filler; trimmed "deliberately" to ≤1 reasoned instance per chapter.
  • Applied the repo's lie-rule (keep machine-subject "lie", the --lie flag, and recorded output; recast work-subject). Kept the Go debugger tool name delve/dlv.
  • Seven parallel executors, validated centrally. Residual ban-tier are justified (≤1 "deliberately"/chapter, "delve" toolname, one inline-code program-output quote). Jekyll build clean; balanced diff (2743/2743); rebased onto current main.

Follow-on: diagrams (~412), chapter spine (Learning objectives + Why this matters), hub re-run.

Recast ~2700 em dashes to colons, parentheticals, semicolons, and sentence
splits across all 57 _docs chapters (bodies, figure captions and alt text,
Tools-used callouts, bullet lists, front-matter title/description, status
footers). Also cleared confessional (honest/plainly), defensive contrast
(genuine/real/on-purpose/for-free), meta-narration (worth naming, rest-of-the-
book), generated tells (load-bearing/earns-its-keep), school framing, and
filler; trimmed deliberately to at most one reasoned instance per chapter.
Applied the repo's lie-rule (keep machine-subject 'lie'/the --lie flag/recorded
output; recast work-subject). Kept the Go debugger tool name 'delve'/'dlv'.
Front-matter values quoted where a recast introduced a colon. Seven parallel
executors, validated centrally. Jekyll build clean (no YAML exceptions).
