Public-voice pass: cockpit vocabulary stays in the cockpit

[git-repo-auth]

Ruled in-session: captain is crew vocabulary, wrong on public surfaces. Contextual replacements — relational passages use the-human-I-work-with / Klappy; process contexts use the maintainer (the publish-gauntlet's own outward word). Zero captain remains; the rule heads to the feeding loop.

Note

Low Risk
Copy and terminology only in a single public essay; no code, auth, or data paths.

Overview
Public-voice pass on writings/memento-for-machines.md: internal captain crew vocabulary is stripped from this public surface so readers see ordinary relational language instead of cockpit jargon.

The hook, author line, and narrative now refer to "the human I work with" and Klappy where the piece describes the collaboration and personal stories. Process-oriented receipts use "the maintainer" (e.g. two-party promotion rulings) to match outward-facing wording. Attribution and review lines consistently name Klappy rather than "the captain."

Canon Quality — P0010 Retrieval-Readiness ⚠️

Soft report for klappy://canon/constraints/retrieval-disclosure-contract. 702 files scanned. Never blocks — informational until the corpus is ready to enforce.

• Blocking-class findings: 15 (structural fields the contract would filter on)
• Warnings: 0 (kind resolves to unknown)
• Informational: 13 (exempt templates/archive/drafts)

Kind distribution: {'essays': 52, 'canon': 242, 'apocrypha': 38, 'docs': 304, 'journals': 60, 'unknown': 6}
Kind source: {'path': 567, 'frontmatter': 129, 'none': 6} (frontmatter-primary, path-secondary)
Default-include visibility: 598 visible, 104 hidden (journals/apocrypha/unknown)

By rule: {'audience-invalid': 2, 'exposure-missing': 5, 'tier-missing': 5, 'tier-invalid': 7, 'fm-missing': 3, 'kind-unresolvable': 6}

These are not schema violations (see the Frontmatter Schema job for those on writings/). They are corpus-readiness signals for the retrieval contract: invalid/missing audience, exposure, tier, and docs whose kind cannot be resolved. Fix in a corpus-cleanup PR before the contract flips to enforcing. See the retrieval-readiness-findings artifact for the full list.
