auth-bundle-1 Phase 13 follow-up: em-dash sweep + broken-link fix
Self-audit on ba68f9a flagged the prompt's 'zero em dashes'
discipline rule. The four new Phase 13 docs and the v2.1.0
CHANGELOG section had 97 em-dash hits between them; this commit
sweeps them all to ASCII hyphens.
Counts before -> after:
docs/operator/rbac.md 28 -> 0
docs/operator/auth-threat-model.md 36 -> 0
docs/migration/api-keys-to-rbac.md 16 -> 0
docs/operator/security.md 8 -> 0
docs/reference/profiles.md 3 -> 0
CHANGELOG.md 6 -> 0
Mechanical: ' - ' (spaced em dash) and bare em-dash both replaced
with spaced ASCII hyphen, then double-spaces collapsed. Markdown
list bullets ('^- ', '^ - ', '^ - ') verified intact across
all six files. Internal-link sweep also re-run.
Also fixes a pre-existing broken link the audit caught:
docs/operator/security.md:70 referenced
'../internal/crypto/encryption.go' which is a 1-level-up jump
from docs/operator/, not the 2-level-up jump it actually needs
('../../internal/crypto/encryption.go'). Pre-Bundle-1 link rot;
fixed in lockstep so the merge gate's docs validation passes
cleanly.
Final state across the Phase-13 docs + CHANGELOG:
- 0 em dashes
- 0 broken internal links
- Last-reviewed: 2026-05-09 header on every new doc
Bundle 1 documentation is now ready for the operator-side merge
gate review.
