From 6baf6dba65f340c09cb5ca8ceda286c022dec849 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Keep the reason, drop the speaker, across all three plugins
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The 36 baselined references in gospel-internet (23), gospel-resources (9) and
cities-internet (4) each wrapped a real engineering reason around an attribution.
The reason is what a reader needs; the speaker is process vocabulary that does not
belong in shipped text.

Every one is rewritten in place, keeping the measurement and the date where they
were there: "NUMERALS ARE HELD fleet-wide (2026-09-26)", "(2026-09-27: one more
level of zoom-out was needed)", "Reported from use: it overlapped the bottom of
the page". Where a quote carried the requirement, the requirement is now stated
directly rather than quoted.

Comment-only: 36 insertions against 36 deletions, one line for one line, and no
built text changes. Route test passes — 0 files under library/ or internal/, so
this self-lands rather than going through studio.

Two things I nearly shipped by accident, both caught before committing:
`git add -A` swept in a 1,961-line vite.config timestamp artefact from my own
build, and editing the JSON meta through a parser reformatted "composes" from one
line to three. The artefact is deleted and the JSON is edited as a string, so the
diff is only what I meant to change.
