Document History Update

• Version: 9.12 → 9.13
• Last Updated: 2026-05-21
• Entry Added: Documented maintenance tone scan removing subjective language across 6 spec files

Testing & Validation

• ✅ All fixes match established precedents from Document History
• ✅ No structural changes — only tone refinement
• ✅ No new specification files since v9.12
• ✅ Intentionally preserved "Deep Research" and "Deep Review Summary" in document titles where they function as fixed report-type labels

Review Notes

Titles Intentionally Unchanged:

• mdflow.md title (line 1): "mdflow Deep Research: ..." — stable across prior scans, functions as report-type label
• engine-review-summary.md title (line 1): "Deep Review Summary" — same reasoning

Only body text and metadata uses of subjective qualifiers were revised.
