Two additions to the screenshot-free writing standard, both owner-
ruled during the admin-docs planning session:
- Tone by audience gains the Administration tier, ending the 'not yet
decided' limbo for admin docs: plain language like the user docs, plus
what every control actually does (semantics, cost, consequences)
before the reader clicks, and per-setting what/does/means/range
coverage. Calibration in one line: user = what you see, admin = what
it does, developer = how it works. The Developer section keeps its
separate tone discussion for the deferred dev-docs pass.
- New 'Promises need approval' section: no coming-soon / under-
consideration / future-release language anywhere without the owner's
explicit approval of that exact promise; speculative text found in the
docs is reported, never quietly kept or quietly deleted. Provenance
recorded (the 2026-11-02 device-promise removals; the Operations
placeholders knowingly kept).
