What

Drops two words from the shipped knowledge 0.12.1 changelog entry: "Pays down the Brief-captured debt map-corpus recorded".

Why

Brief-captured attributes the debt to an authoring-time planning document that exists in no git refgit log --all -- docs/topics/docsite-digest is empty, and the mapper's own working slice is untracked and self-ignoring by design. A consumer reading the changelog cannot follow it, and never could.

This is the same unresolvable-reference shape #2719 removed from the map-corpus skill body one version later. #2719 scoped it out deliberately, because editing a shipped entry is a different judgment call than fixing an unreleased one. This PR makes that call explicitly rather than leaving the residue in place.

Why this does not rewrite history

The debt itself is quoted inline in the same sentence — "that citation shape still needs an owner doc before a second skill emits it" — so the entry still records what was owed and what paid it down. Only the unfollowable attribution goes. No version heading is touched, no entry is added or removed, and no ordering changes.

Verification

Ran locally before pushing, all exit 0:

  • check-changelog-parity.sh --check — every versioned plugin has a CHANGELOG, none documents a version above its manifest.
  • check-changelog-parity.sh --check-preserved origin/main — all 1 changed changelog preserves every version heading it carried at a326a877, 58 headings compared.
  • check-changelog-parity.sh --check-bump origin/main — every plugin whose version changed has a matching entry (none changed here; prose only).

No version bump: nothing a consumer receives changes behavior, and the changelog header's own rule ties the version to delivered change.

Related

Completes the reference-debt cleanup begun in #2719, which established that docs/topics/docsite-digest/ exists in no ref and that self-containment was therefore the only conforming outcome.

No related issue: routine hygiene on a shipped surface, found by the verifier on #2719 and deferred out of that PR's scope.

…2.1 entry

The shipped 0.12.1 entry credited "the Brief-captured debt" — an attribution to an
authoring-time planning document that exists in no git ref and that no consumer ever
receives. It is the same unresolvable-reference shape 0.12.2 removed from the skill
body, left behind on the changelog surface.

The debt itself is already quoted inline in the same sentence, so dropping the
attribution loses no information: the entry still records what was owed and what paid
it down. Prose only — no version heading changed, no behavior, schema, gate, exit code,
or argument affected.
