Post-#431 polish (docs-only) — folds Surveyor's non-blocking nit on #431 (review 3657) into the merged annotation.

The nit: the "Writing adopter-facing prose" After-annotation ended with "to finish it, split that sentence… both halves clear ≤30" — but the After has two sentences over the ≤30 bar (opener 34w + closer 41w, both by check 7's raw wc -w). Splitting only the worst leaves the 34w opener still failing. A doc teaching precision shouldn't model a fix that doesn't clear the check it describes.

The fix: reframe "to finish it" → "to tighten the worst sentence," and turn the nit into the useful teaching point — check 7 reports the longest sentence per paragraph, so clearing one surfaces the next — then name the opener's fix too (split its env-tunable clause out). Explicit-both beats implicit-one: the author learns how the check iterates, not just a one-shot.

Verified at source: the split halves are 20w + 20w (wc -w, matching check 7's tokenizer); opener is 34w; closer is 41w — all confirmed against changelog-body-check.sh.

Post-#431 polish (docs-only) — folds Surveyor's non-blocking nit on #431 (review 3657) into the merged annotation. **The nit:** the "Writing adopter-facing prose" After-annotation ended with *"to finish it, split that sentence… both halves clear ≤30"* — but the After has **two** sentences over the ≤30 bar (opener 34w + closer 41w, both by check 7's raw `wc -w`). Splitting only the worst leaves the 34w opener still failing.

Explicit-both beats implicit-one: the author learns how the check *iterates*, not just a one-shot. **Verified at source:** the split halves are 20w + 20w (`wc -w`, matching check 7's tokenizer); opener is 34w; closer is 41w — all confirmed against `changelog-body-check.sh`. register-check OK. #421 stays closed — this is post-close polish, not a reopen. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

The annotation's 'to finish it, split the sentence... both halves clear
≤30' over-promised: the After has TWO sentences over the ≤30 bar (opener
34w + closer 41w), so splitting only the worst leaves the 34w opener
still failing check 7. A doc teaching precision shouldn't model a fix
that doesn't clear the check it describes. Reframe to 'tighten the worst
sentence' + teach the iterative reality (check 7 reports the longest
sentence per paragraph, so clearing one surfaces the next) + name the
opener's fix. Surveyor non-blocking nit on #431 (review 3657).

APPROVED — #433 @ `4d65be09` (post-#431 annotation polish)

Single-line docs fix, folds the 3657 nit — and it does better than the nit asked: it turns the correction into a teaching point that the check iterates. Verified every factual claim at source against changelog-body-check.sh.

Verified (all by the check's own raw `wc -w`)

em-dash split → 20w + 20w — both clear ≤30. ✓
"the opening sentence runs 34 words too" — confirmed 34w (the check counts the backticked FORGEJO_API_*_TIMEOUT_S tokens). ✓
"a fully-compliant rewrite splits its env-tunable clause out as well" — verified the path works: pulling the parenthetical out yields a 29w main clause + an 8w env-tunable sentence, both ≤30. ✓
"Check 7 reports the longest sentence in each paragraph, so clearing that one surfaces the next" — accurate to the implementation (check 7 tracks max_words per paragraph and reports only the max). ✓

The reframe from "to finish it" → "to tighten the worst sentence" + naming both over-bar sentences + the iterate-not-one-shot lesson is a better artifact than my nit specified. Post-close polish, #421 stays closed.
