[github-actions[bot]]

Overview

Daily consolidation run for 2026-03-04 (§22648330173). Analyzed 63 markdown files in scratchpad/. No new spec files since the previous run (2026-03-02). Resolved 3 minor "easy to" tone issues that had been carried over from prior runs without action. dev.md bumped to v3.5.

Summary

• Files analyzed: 63 (62 spec files + 1 smoke-test)
• New files since 2026-03-02: 0
• Tone issues fixed: 3
• Formatting issues fixed: 0
• Mermaid diagrams: 9 (unchanged)
• dev.md version: v3.5 (was v3.4)
• Coverage: 100% — all 62 spec files documented

Tone Fixes Applied

Three informal "easy to" phrases were replaced with precise technical descriptions:

File	Line	Before	After
guard-policies-specification.md	286	"Easy to add policies for Jira, WorkIQ, etc."	"Supports adding policies for Jira, WorkIQ, etc."
guard-policies-specification.md	302	"Easy to add new servers and policy types"	"New servers and policy types can be added without structural changes"
engine-review-summary.md	282	"Easy to understand and follow"	"Consistent, well-documented for straightforward implementation"

These phrases appeared in enumerated benefits/design-principles bullet lists. Previous runs (2026-03-01, 2026-03-02) noted them as "acceptable in technical bullet-list context" and deferred fixing. Today's run resolves them, bringing the repository to zero known tone violations.
