Every British spelling in prose, comments, generated goldens, tests, the Makefile, workflows and the bench boards moves to the American form: the -ise/-isation family (initialise, localise, normalise, synchronise, recognise, optimise, materialise, ...), -our (colour, behaviour, neighbour, honour, favour, armour), licence, grey, labelled, modelled, cancelled, travelled, equalling, judgement, artefact, analogue, defence, marshalling, theatre, catalogue. Identifiers we own are renamed and the goldens regenerated: the pointers corpus's `Colour` type is now `Color` (its native mapping `ColourMath` is `ColorMath`, and its header test/tables/graph_colour.h is graph_color.h), the `grey` DFS constant in check.go and cpp.go is `gray`, and TestJsonKeyIsHonoured is TestJsonKeyIsHonored. The rename moves graphdemo's protocol id and build version, so the pointers build-version golden and the pointers Table goldens are re-pinned; the generated/ tree regenerates byte-identically. External names keep their spelling: none were touched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…aphdemo cook-write fixtures follow the Color rename
bench/LOCK freezes internal/codegen/{c,cpp}, so the two words there (a comment
and a local Go constant) wait for the lift. Renaming the pointers example's
Colour type moves the unit's build version, so the eight graph_* cook-write
fixtures are regenerated by make conformance-generate — the tool is the
reference for those bytes.
