docs: drop AI-slop tells from README and mkem doc comment#24
Merged
Conversation
Refs #23. - README: replace "In the PostGuard ecosystem, this crate provides…" with plain phrasing. "ecosystem" is on the AI-slop overstretched-metaphor list. - src/kem/mkem.rs: replace "leverages" (canonical AI-slop verb) with "combines … with". Mechanical wording fixes only; no code changes.

Refs #23.
Findings from the AI-slop sweep
The repo is mostly clean. Two hits worth fixing:
README.md:7— "In the PostGuard ecosystem, this crate provides…"ecosystemis on the writing-ai-slop-tells overstretched-metaphor list.Rewritten to use "Within PostGuard, this crate supplies…".
src/kem/mkem.rs:2— "It leverages the underlying IBKEM and a DEM to construct a hybrid encryption scheme"leveragesis the canonical AI-slop verb (Add Boyen & Waters #3 on the list).Rewritten to "It combines the underlying IBKEM with a DEM to form a hybrid encryption scheme".
No other prose tells found:
