Summary

  • Fixed 104 style/structure findings across all 13 doc pages: heading
    case (Title Case), missing lead-in sentences, ambiguous "it",
    em-dashes in prose, misused numbered lists, bold text standing in
    for headings, casual wording, product-name capitalization
    (coldfront -> ColdFront), and inconsistent line wrap
  • Removed two inline "## Contents" sections that duplicated the
    theme's own sidebar TOC
  • Renamed usage.md's "Gotchas" heading to "Known Limitations" for
    consistency with the rest of the doc set
  • Split walkthrough.md: setup/intro stays there, and all four demos
    moved to a new walkthrough_demos.md page (added to mkdocs.yml
    nav). The 11 numbered "Step N" headings became gerund-style titles
    linked from the summary table, dropping the redundant step-number
    duplication between the table and the headings
  • Rewrapped architecture_vectors.md and usage_vectors.md, which
    had never been wrapped to the 79-character house style

Test plan

  • mkdocs build --strict after every batch of fixes - 0 warnings
  • Verified every touched fix against the file's own established
    conventions (table intros, cross-links, heading anchors)
  • Rewrap passes verified word-for-word identical to the pre-edit
    content (only line-break positions changed)

Inline comments:
Review comments at @docs/architecture_tiered.md:
- Line 136: Update the phase references throughout the architecture page,
including the crash-recovery table, to consistently use the current 1–6
numbering; align the Iceberg-range wipe, cutover, and cleanup references with
their corresponding phases in the list.

Review comments at @docs/formal/README.md:
- Around line 327-328: Update the fidelity text around “CAS commit” to describe
an ordered sequence of one or more metadata-only CAS updates, one per queued
ALTER update, under the held claim before release. Preserve the comparison to
the append modeled at Decide and its parent-CAS conflict shape.

Review comments at @docs/usage.md:
- Around line 19-22: Update the setup introduction in the usage documentation to
describe PostgreSQL, Lakekeeper, and the S3-compatible object store as services
started by the setup, not prerequisites already running; keep the extension
setup and bootstrap sequence consistent with that wording.

Review comments at @docs/walkthrough_demos.md:
- Line 590: Make the standalone Iceberg demos in walkthrough_demos.md
self-contained by adding idempotent prerequisite setup before calls to
coldfront.create_iceberg_table and coldfront.ensure_attached, or include the
same initialization in shared setup. Ensure the documented path installs
pg_duckdb and coldfront and sets the SeaweedFS storage secret, matching
ensure_coldfront_setup.

Rebased from main and edited. Some fixes went to main directly in 9b9863b. Changed:

  • Headings are Title Case with code names, extensions and pgEdge keeping their own case, and coldfront becomes ColdFront only where it means the product.
  • One "Known Limitations" section works better as "Caveats".
  • A list of phases must stay 0-5 to agree with the code.
  • The walkthrough steps keep their numbers as "Step N:" and the table links to them.
  • Bold labels became plain text except where they were real sub-sections.
