Surfaced by an automated cross-package documentation-consistency audit of the stats/base/dists/lognormal namespace. No associated issue.

Description

What is the purpose of this pull request?

This pull request corrects the C-source (src/main.c) parameter documentation for stats/base/dists/lognormal/kurtosis, which had drifted from the namespace convention:

• The docblock described mu as input value and sigma as minimum support — copy-paste artifacts from a bounded distribution's parameterization. Both contradict the function's own summary line ("location mu and scale sigma"), the kurtosis.h header, and the lib/main.js JSDoc. They are corrected to location parameter and scale parameter, matching 11/13 (85%) of the addon-bearing sibling packages in the namespace. The change is comment-only: no behavior, signatures, or test expectations are affected.

No.

Other

Any other information relevant to this pull request?

The logcdf C docblock, which documents mu/sigma as mean/standard deviation, was deliberately left untouched: those descriptions are mathematically accurate for the underlying normal and self-consistent between the header and source, so they are an authorial choice rather than drift.

This PR was authored by Claude Code running an automated cross-package documentation-drift audit. The audit extracted structural and semantic features across all 14 packages in the namespace, identified the majority C-docblock @param pattern, flagged kurtosis as the sole outlier, and independently verified (with a second agent) that the deviation is an unintentional copy-paste rather than a genuine semantic difference before applying the correction. Please review before merge.
