fix(markdown-format): remove internal fleet-audit jargon from consumer-facing text

[kyle-sexton]

Summary

Internal fleet-audit jargon and internal/sibling names leaked into consumer-facing shipped files for the markdown-format plugin. The CHANGELOG is definitively consumer-facing (read on version bumps), so external consumers saw maintainer-only vocabulary that means nothing to them, plus a cross-reference to a sibling plugin. This is a prose-hygiene pass — not a config seam.

Fix

• CHANGELOG.md (rewritten in place, factual record preserved):
  • 0.5.1: dropped the trailing "the same class fix applied across the fleet's other hook-plugin setups".
  • 0.5.0: removed "(fleet conformance wave, dim 8 — the fleet's first conforming exemplar)".
  • 0.4.1: sibling-plugin reference ("the guardrails plugin's git guards") described generically as "git-guard hooks" — also satisfies the never-cross-reference-plugin-names rule.
  • 0.4.0: removed the same-class "(prerequisite-visibility wave)" rollout jargon. This instance was not in the issue's enumerated list but is the identical jargon class in the same consumer-facing file; removed deliberately so the hygiene pass is complete rather than leaving matching jargon behind.
• hooks/markdown-format.sh: stripped "(dim-9 doctrine)" from two comments (lines 51, 154).
• hooks/markdown-format.test.sh: renamed "medley-policy"/"medley policy tail" to "repo-specific policy" in the header comment and ok/fail message strings.
• Added 0.5.3 CHANGELOG entry and bumped plugin.json 0.5.2 → 0.5.3 (docs/comment hygiene = patch), mirroring PR refactor(hooks): read stdin via hook::buffer_stdin in advisory hooks (8 plugins) #443's two-file convention. marketplace.json carries no version field, so plugin.json is the sole version source.

Zero behavior change (hook files)

Hook .sh/.test.sh edits are comments and human-readable ok/fail message strings only. No executable logic, control flow, or matched pattern changed. Critically, the test's residual-prose assertion greps the literal 'commit/CI will block' (unchanged) — "medley" was never load-bearing in any assertion.

Verification

All gates run against the changed files; all pass, none suppressed:

• markdownlint-cli2 v0.18.1 (--config .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc) on CHANGELOG.md → 0 error(s).
• shellcheck (repo .shellcheckrc) on both changed hook .sh/.test.sh → clean (exit 0).
• editorconfig-checker v3.8.0 on all 4 changed files → clean (exit 0).
• typos 1.44.0 (repo _typos.toml) on plugins/markdown-format/ → clean (exit 0). Removing "medley"/"dim" altered no allowlist entries (none existed for these terms).
• Hook contract test (markdown-format.test.sh) → PASS=65 FAIL=0, empirically confirming no behavior change.

PR Review: fix(markdown-format) — prose hygiene pass

• Gather context and understand request
• Read PR diff and changed files
• Review CHANGELOG entries for correctness and hygiene
• Verify version bump is appropriate
• Confirm hook file edits are comments-only
• Confirm test file edits don't affect assertions
• Post comprehensive review

Verdict: Approve. This is a clean, well-scoped prose hygiene pass. Every claim in the PR description checks out on inspection.

plugin.json — version bump

0.5.2 → 0.5.3 is the correct semver increment for a docs/comment-only change. marketplace.json carries no version field (verified), so plugin.json is the sole version source and was the only file that needed bumping.

CHANGELOG.md — all five entry edits verified

Entry	Change	Assessment
[0.5.3]	New entry	Well-written; consumer-meaningful; correctly classified under Changed
[0.5.1]	Drops trailing fleet-audit sentence	Sentence is grammatically complete after trim
[0.5.0]	Removes "(fleet conformance wave, dim 8 — the fleet's first conforming exemplar)" from bold heading	Period added correctly inside the bold span
[0.4.1]	"the guardrails plugin's git guards" → "git-guard hooks"; "the" → "a"	Cross-plugin reference eliminated; article change appropriate for generic consumer description
[0.4.0]	Removes "(prerequisite-visibility wave)" from bold heading	Same pattern as [0.5.0]; period added correctly

A grep over the current state of all three plugin files confirms zero residual instances of "fleet", "dim-", "medley", "conformance wave", "visibility wave", or "guardrails plugin".

markdown-format.sh — comments only

Two edits, both removing (dim-9 doctrine) from inline comments at line 52 and line 154. Both comments read naturally after the removal. No logic, control flow, or exit paths touched.

markdown-format.test.sh — test messages only, assertion unchanged

Four edits rename "medley-policy" / "medley policy" to "repo-specific policy" across: the header docstring, the ok/fail comment above the assertion, and the two ok/fail message strings. The load-bearing grep at line 205 — grep -qi 'commit/CI will block' — is unchanged, confirming "medley" was never part of any assertion and the 65/65 pass count claim is credible.

No concerns

No executable code changed, no security surface altered, no behavior delta possible. The [0.4.0] cleanup that wasn't in the original issue's enumerated list is the right call — same jargon class, same consumer-facing file, leaving it would have made the hygiene pass incomplete.
