What changed

This PR makes 100 pages easier to read. It changes the wording only. The layout, the navigation, the code samples and every URL are the same.

Area Pages Change
REST API v1 reference 61 One clear description for each endpoint, one sentence that says when to use the call, and one verb for one action on every page. The OpenAPI blocks are unchanged.
Developer guides 12 Shorter sentences and active voice. Three guides get one line near the top that links to the first call. Code samples are byte-for-byte the same.
Product guides and help pages 21 13 pages rewritten in plain English. 8 pages get a light edit: filler removed, hard sentences made simpler.
Release notes 6 Typo fixes only (a misspelled model name, doubled words, a misplaced space in a link). No release note is rewritten.

No page in this PR is also in #115 or in the front door PR.

Checks

  • node .github/scripts/check-facts.mjs: 190 files checked, 0 problems.
  • node .github/scripts/check-twins.mjs --offline: twin footers ok.
  • A script compared each changed page with main: frontmatter keys, GitBook tags, code fences, OpenAPI blocks and footer URLs are the same. No file is renamed, and no relative link is broken.

…d API reference

The pages use short sentences, plain words and the labels the product shows. The layout, the navigation, the code samples, the OpenAPI blocks and every URL are the same. Six release notes get a typo fix only.

Approval is blocked by one moderate security-documentation issue that weakens compromised-token guidance, along with three smaller clarity and grammar problems.
