Subject: [PATCH] docs: comments name what the code does, not how it was built

Thirty-one files carried internal build vocabulary and anchors pointing at
notes that are not in the repository: a reader of `checklist.ts` in a year
would find its rationale keyed to a research id they cannot open, inside a
comment that also names an internal build stage. Two test titles carried the
same anchors.

The version tags and the whole of the reasoning stay; only the vocabulary and
the dangling references go, with the few sentences that were built around an
anchor rewritten to stand on their own.
