Review Notes

Please review:

  1. Tone changes maintain technical accuracy while removing marketing language
  2. Replacements provide more specific, measurable descriptions
  3. No functional content was removed, only subjective language adjusted
  4. Consolidated file stability maintained (no bloat)

Historical Context

  • Previous run (2026-01-27): Fixed 2 tone issues
  • Current run (2026-01-28): Fixed 20 tone issues through deeper pattern analysis
  • Pattern evolution: Extended beyond obvious marketing to include developer-experience claims and vague descriptors
