chore: replace every em and en dash with real punctuation - #42
Merged
Conversation
Colons for appositives, parentheses for interpolations, commas and semicolons where the sentence continues. Covers READMEs, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, plugin metadata, skills, and the js comments and user-facing strings (tests updated in lockstep). site/index.html is excluded: the typeset redesign on add-landing-page-site replaces it wholesale. Each plugin whose shipped files changed gets a patch version bump so installed copies refresh. Suite: 1499 passing.

The #42 cleanup walked files with glob('**/*.json'), which skips dot-directories, so .claude-plugin/marketplace.json and the seven original plugins' .claude-plugin/plugin.json descriptions kept their em dashes and the verification pass shared the blind spot. Same replacement vocabulary as #42; verification now uses os.walk. The seven touched plugins get patch bumps per the versioning rule.

What
Removes all 128 em and en dashes from the repo's prose and code: READMEs, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, plugin metadata (marketplace.json, plugin.json descriptions), skills, and the js comments and user-facing strings. Each replacement is deliberate punctuation, not a mechanical swap: colons for appositives ("X: explanation"), parentheses for interpolations, commas and semicolons where a sentence continues, plain hyphens for numeric ranges.
Notes
site/index.htmlis deliberately excluded: the typeset redesign onadd-landing-page-sitereplaces that file wholesale, so the no-dash rule should land there once, in the redesign.site/.Tests
