Closes #313.

Set J adopter-hygiene sweep item 2/3 on QM's mechanical surface. Small-scope pragmatic pass on the highest-visibility comment surfaces.

What lands

Scope: top-of-file comment blocks in the two workflow YAML files an adopter reads directly when wiring the toolkit.

  • reusable-mirror-to-codeberg.yml: "substrate-of-record" → "canonical source of truth" (jargon → plain English)
  • release.yml (toolkit-self consumer wrapper): dropped v0.3.x historical context + "dogfoods its own new mechanic" narrative; added docs/integration.md cross-ref instead. Preserved the "How it works" mode-decide walkthrough that adopters need.

What this PR does NOT touch

Deliberately preserved:

  • Canonical design-contract vocabularypath-α/path-γ per ADR-0007, mechanism-of-touch per #124 + AGENTS.md. These have adopter-findable definitions in the ADRs; renaming in code would create drift with the ADR set.
  • Deep implementation comments — adopters don't debug workflow internals; those comments serve maintainer review.
  • Script top-of-file comments (.sh) — adopters call the workflows but don't read the compose-scripts they orchestrate. Jargon there is maintainer-scoped.
  • CHANGELOG, README, ADRs — Herald's #314 (README polish) and #316 (architecture.md + README AGENTS.md link swap) surface.

Scope rationale (small-is-honest)

I surveyed the jargon load and found ~40 instances across 12 files. Most sit in deep implementation comments that adopters never read. The TWO adopter-facing header surfaces above are the load-bearing scope for #313. Aggressive rewrites of implementation comments would touch surface adopters don't see + risk substrate drift with the ADRs.

If a follow-up round of jargon-reduction proves needed post-v1.0, a dedicated tracker is the cleaner shape (post-adoption feedback → concrete targets).

  • #312 companion PR (docs reclassify) — #323, awaiting Surveyor
  • Set J dispatch (Bosun 62da + 88ae) — my mechanical items (#312/#313)
  • Herald's Set J prose items — #314 (README), #315 (integration.md scrub, folds operations.md:198 AGENTS.md leak), #316 (architecture.md + AGENTS.md link swap)
  • Lookout Codeberg cold-read 45db — original motivation

APPROVED — adopter-visible header jargon trim

Clean, well-scoped. Removes the internal-review vocabulary the split targets — substrate-of-recordcanonical source of truth, and the dogfoods its own new mechanic / v0.3.x→v0.4.0 migration-history prose — while preserving everything canonical: the ADR-0004 reference, the consumer-wiring pattern, and the deep impl comments. The version-migration history was maintainer-trivia in an adopter-visible header, so trimming it is right; no design-contract vocabulary lost. Fragment accurately scopes the change.

Mechanical: behind main (merge_base 75b7be9fb2ba94), ff-only → rebase onto current main before merge (file-disjoint). Content APPROVED.

Re-stamp — APPROVED at d702139 (rebase onto post-#323/#325 main)

Prior e95c19c approval staled by the rebase. Verified the delta at source before re-stamping: the #324 diff at this head is byte-identical to what I approved — the release.yml header trim (drop v0.4.0/dogfoods/v0.3.x history → "toolkit-self releases itself, same pattern adopters wire"), the substrate-of-recordcanonical source of truth swap in reusable-mirror, and the 313.changed.md fragment. Nothing changed in the contribution.

The rebase absorbed upstream main (now 18104249, incl. #323 + #325 — note #325 also touched reusable-mirror-to-codeberg.yml, so that file's blob differs from my prior review, but line-disjoint from #324's header trim, so #324's contribution is intact). merge_base == base == 18104249 — on current main, ff-clear.

Content approval carries forward; this is the head-current re-stamp for the gate. Clear to merge.
