Summary

• Files analyzed: 62 (excluding dev.md)
• Tone issues fixed: 0
• Formatting issues fixed: 0
• Spec file updates: 1 (guard-policies-specification.md — deprecated repos → allowed-repos)
• dev.md version: v4.3
• Workflow run: §23537967477

Changes Made

guard-policies-specification.md: repos → allowed-repos

All YAML examples and prose references updated from the deprecated repos field name to the current allowed-repos field name (PR #22331 renamed the field; repos is now a deprecated alias). A migration note was added to the Frontmatter Syntax section.

9 YAML blocks + 3 prose references updated:

• Frontmatter examples: Minimal, With Repository Patterns, Public Repositories Only
• Safe Outputs Integration examples
• Usage Examples 1–4
• MCP Gateway Configuration Flow prose
• Validation Rules: "allowed-repos defaults to "all" if not specified"

Preserved (implementation internals, not frontmatter field names):

• Go type GitHubReposScope
• Functions validateReposScope(), validateRepoPattern()
• Test case descriptions

scratchpad/dev.md: v4.3

Added v4.3 history entry documenting the guard-policies spec update.

Tone Scan Results

Full scan performed across all 62 spec files. Patterns checked: amazing, super easy, powerful feature, seamlessly, intuitive, effortless, game-changer, brilliant, fantastic, incredible, simply configure, robust (contextual), easily (contextual).

• go-type-patterns.md:40 — "Easy refactoring" — factual technical property of type aliases
• labels.md:127 — "Perfect overlap" — statistical/analytical observation
• serena-tools-quick-reference.md:12 — "✓ Perfect" — table status indicator
• mdflow.md:229 — "no magic" — technical negation
• serena-tools-quick-reference.md:81 — "highly efficient" — supported by data
• Multiple files — "Leverage/Leverages" — standard technical verb
• engine-review-summary.md:282 — "straightforward implementation" — factual
• github-actions-security-best-practices.md:166 — "more robust than ls" — technical comparison
• actions.md:35 — "Cannot easily share" — factual limitation description
