docs(architecture): slop sweep — clear negative-framing headings + prose tells

[Yambr]

Applies the new CLAUDE.md "Slop patterns" rules across the already-merged canon. Found by the doc-slop-reviewer sweep of all 13 architecture docs — 0 blockers, structural warnings only.

Fixed

• Negative-framing / question headings → noun phrases (the systemic pattern):
  • README.md: ## What's here → ## Contents; ## What's NOT here yet → ## Not yet present
  • PROCESS.md: ## What this file is not → ## Scope boundary (negation list → one sentence)
  • adr/README.md: ## When to write an ADR (vs. inline note) → ## ADR threshold
• Prose tells:
  • 01-audience: adjective-triple "security, compliance, and operational scale we know" tightened
  • 02-nfrs: defensive tail "not contradictions" dropped
  • adr/0001: "replaced from scratch" restatement removed
  • adr/0000-template: "Neutral but worth noting:" → "Neutral:" (template was seeding a banned hedge)
  • 03-c4-context: duplicate "visible at a glance" removed

Left as-is

## Why now in 01-audience — recognized positioning-section label, body is all dated fact; a noun-phrase rewrite reads worse. Reviewer rated Info/low-risk.

Clean (no findings)

02-trust-boundaries.md, MANIFESTO.md, glossary.md, primitives-backlog.md, 04-bounded-contexts.md.

Walkthrough

Nine single-line and multi-line documentation updates across the docs/architecture/ tree refine section headings, restructure navigation guidance, simplify template placeholders, and tighten technical wording in the C4 context, ADR process, manifesto audience, and NFR sections.

Changes

Architecture Documentation Refinements

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Documentation structure and scope boundaries docs/architecture/README.md, docs/architecture/PROCESS.md	README.md sections renamed to "Files in this directory" and "Not yet present" for consistency. PROCESS.md introduces explicit "Scope boundary" section pointing readers to inventory, routing rules, and roadmap resources elsewhere.
ADR process and template guidance docs/architecture/adr/README.md, docs/architecture/adr/0000-template.md	ADR README heading changed from "When to write an ADR (vs. inline note)" to "ADR threshold." Template's "Consequences" neutral-item label simplified from "Neutral but worth noting: …" to "Neutral: …".
Technical specifications and design wording docs/architecture/03-c4-context.md, docs/architecture/adr/0001-layer-0-gate-legacy-exclusion.md, docs/architecture/manifesto/01-audience-and-buyer.md, docs/architecture/manifesto/02-nfrs.md	C4 context §4 intro reworded to emphasize table reference for actor optionality. ADR-0001 clarifies legacy code is not patched on next/v1 but replaced from scratch in Layer 6+. Manifesto audience capability-ceiling rephrased from "security, compliance, and operational scale we know" to "regulatory and operational-scale envelope we design against." Token TTL taxonomy wording tightened to clarify scope–TTL correlation and independence of three commitments.
