Replace every em dash with real punctuation (rewrites, not hyphen swaps)
in docs, code comments, scripts, configs, and the port records; convert
en dashes, curly quotes, ellipsis glyphs, arrows, and section signs to
ASCII; drop machine-writing tell phrases from living docs. ADR titles
now use a colon. The M2 bring-up DTS model string carried an em dash
into the patch series and its record echoes; fixed at both, and the full
series re-verified to apply cleanly onto pristine 6.18.46. One comment
in freshness.h deliberately names the em dash glyph the UI renders as
the unknown mark; that is data, kept as prose naming it.
Verified: cargo tests (sim, config-lint, rs485-bridge), shellcheck,
both driver MC/DC harnesses, patches-apply.
Decision/directive lines keep their dates and content, drop the name;
hands-on confirmations become "confirmed by hand at the panel"; a dangling
CLAUDE.md reference becomes "repo policy". Upstream vendor author
attributions in the GPL kernel sources (MODULE_AUTHOR, copyright headers,
LKML citations) are third-party legal attributions and stay.

Capabilities audit — classify every RV1106 SoC block against a 6.18 driver:
GMAC (wired eth, enabled on-board), crypto-v3, trngv1 (hw RNG), OTP, mailbox,
NPU, audio codec/DSM, pvtm still to port; camera/ISP + SPI are N/A (no HW).
Provenance ledger — per [maintainer]'s openness directive extended to already-ported
drivers: every ported driver is GPL-2.0 kernel source (vendor-src or
mainline-sibling); the only binary in the whole path is on-device wifi-chip
firmware, which by construction cannot be host source. No vendor binary is
loaded into our kernel.
