Strip historical narrative from documentation Remove what a doc used to say, when it changed, the incidents that justified a rule, finished migration narration, and counts and versions that rot. State the rules in the present tense instead. Keep every instruction, prohibition and threshold, and keep the measurements that make a rule actionable. Public-facing docs keep their explanatory voice.
