16 of the 23 error-level hits from a full-repo vale run were real:
'is/are/does/do NOT' and bold 'not' expanded per Microsoft.Contractions,
one hyphen-as-negative-number fixed to an en dash per Microsoft.Negative
(docs/web-ui/dashboard.md's -45 deg column-header tilt).
Where the caps/bold was there for emphasis (contrasting X does this,
Y does not), kept the emphasis by bolding the contraction rather than
dropping it silently -- 'is not' -> 'isn't', 'does NOT' -> '**doesn't**',
etc.
docs/tools/swarmctl-cli.md's one genuine hit is generated -- fixed the
source doc comment in swarmctl/src/main.rs and regenerated via
'cargo run --bin swarmctl -- markdown-docs', diffed against the old
copy first to confirm only the intended line changed.
Left 7 hits unfixed, false positives from the rule matching a
substring rather than the actual pattern it names:
- 4x 'that's instead of that is': every one is the explanatory 'that
is' idiom (~= i.e.), not a contractible subject+verb -- 'that's'
would misparse as a demonstrative-pronoun contraction and change the
sentence's meaning. docs/integrations/forge.md:282,
docs/tools/forge.md:260, docs/tools/hivectl.md:243,
docs/web-ui/dashboard.md:457 (and the swarmctl-cli.md generated
twin of the same category, source left alone for the same reason).
- docs/agent-lifecycle/persistence.md:482 -- 'is not' matched inside
'is nothing' (the same has-not/has-nothing substring trap noted
before in this doc's own git history).
- docs/swarm/ca.md:182 -- 'it is' matched inside the already-correct
'it isn't'.
Per #4128. Remaining errors on main after this: Microsoft.Avoid's 26
hits, already tracked + awaiting a house-style ruling on #4041.
