Tone pass across the non-tutorial markdown — README, PROOFS,
ARCHITECTURE, BENCHMARKS, COMPLIANCE, FAQ, MES_INTEROP, SECURITY,
and interop/README. Three patterns came out:
- Bug-history war stories ("Past interop sweeps surfaced…",
"What these harnesses caught: 1. Strict U-width parsing…").
- Chat-with-reader framing ("Don't skip TLS unless…", "Treat as a
punch list", "If you're running in a pod…", "Misconfiguration
incidents drop dramatically").
- Self-referential narration ("we ship", "our codec", "the
codebase's most-tested layer", "three orders of magnitude above
fab load", "the gift that keeps giving").
README also drops the standalone ThreadSanitizer subsection under
Build details (now a single line under the new Testing section).

02 — The cast of characters: equipment, EAP, MES, fab planner, AMHS,
operator. Who initiates which conversation, why the equipment is
the passive side of HSMS by convention, how the AMHS handshake is
out-of-band relative to SECS. Cross-references the relevant
namespace and test files for each actor.
03 — Vocabulary + a wafer's journey: follows one 300 mm wafer
end-to-end through a fab and labels every SECS message and acronym
that fires. Introduces SVID / DVID / ECID / CEID / RPTID / ALID /
PPID / MDLN / SOFTREV / HCACK / ALCD / OFLACK / CAACK / SMACK / etc.
in context rather than as a list. Includes one-screen reference
tables for the remaining acknowledge codes, T-timers in all four
contexts (HSMS / SECS-I / E84 / E30 communication state), and a
stream-by-stream summary.
Part 1 (Foundations) of the guided tour is now complete — a reader
who reads chapters 01–03 can describe the protocol stack, identify
the actors, and recognise every acronym they'll meet in Part 2.
