chore: minor clean-up

[Planeshifter]

Description

Follow-up fixes for commits merged to develop between 7a025ca7 (2026-04-20 16:07:19 -0400) and 1089250d (2026-04-21 03:37:01 -0700) — 49 first-parent commits in the window. Fixes are grouped by package, one commit per group.

blas/base/cgemv (originating commit b3e5d1b5)

• Bug: when beta == 0, the y = beta*y short-circuit fills y with alpha instead of zero, producing alpha + alpha*A*x per element whenever alpha != 0. Mirror the dgemv/sgemv pattern by passing new Complex64( 0.0, 0.0 ) to cfill so prior NaN values do not propagate (lib/base.js L145–150).
• Style: restore symmetric spacing around * in the byte-stride calculations sa1 = strideA1 * 2 / sa2 = strideA2 * 2 (lib/base.js L163–164).
• Style: add the missing // MAIN // section banner before the function JSDoc (lib/ndarray.js L25–28).

blas/ext/base/ddiff (originating commit a0816279)

• Docs: README intro to the strided example was missing the verb — to differences of every other element: → to compute differences of every other element: (README.md L71).

stats/base/ndarray/dmaxsorted (originating commit 66e748fe)

• Docs: the first two lines inside int main() of the C example used 4-space indentation while the rest of the body uses 3 spaces — re-indent for consistency with sibling dmeanwd/dmeanpn/dmeanpw READMEs (README.md L192–193).

napi/argv-booleanarray (originating commit e60e084f)

• Docs: e60e084f changed @returns to Uint8Array, but the wrapper still returns the original BooleanArray v; only the reinterpreted view is passed to the addon. Revert the annotation to BooleanArray to match the actual return value and the @param (lib/native.js L34–35).

Validation

• Style guide compliance audit across blas/**, ndarray/**, napi/**, stats/**, math/**, _tools/eslint/**, READMEs touched by 59d0640a.
• Bug scan across the union diff plus per-commit diffs.
• Each finding was independently re-verified against the worktree before applying a fix.

Excluded

• Anything requiring interpretation, judgement calls, or sources outside the diff window.
• Anything reported by a single reviewer that could not be re-verified by re-reading the diff.
• Subjective preferences not mandated by the style guide.
• The C-benchmark malloc refactor ([RFC]: replace static memory allocation of large arrays in C benchmarks with dynamic memory allocation (tracking issue) #8643) and JS-benchmark format refactor ([RFC]: use string interpolation in JavaScript benchmarks for the benchmark name (tracking issue) #8647) are deliberate idiom migrations — not flagged.
• 0b14ced4's local PI macro in place of M_PI is intentional for portability — not flagged.
• 1089250d's eslint-disable-next-line stdlib/no-new-array suppressions in math/strided/special/sin-by tests are intentional (the test exercises sparse-array semantics) — not flagged.

• Read, understood, and followed the contributing guidelines.

Disclosure

This PR was authored by Claude Code as part of an automated commit-review pass over the prior 24 hours of develop. Each finding was generated by parallel reviewer agents, filtered for high-signal-only issues (objective bugs, unambiguous style-guide violations, on-sight typos), and independently re-verified against the worktree before any fix was applied. A maintainer should audit before promoting from draft.
