Term Audit
Term-audit
The first-read lint. Every technical term on a page, in order of first appearance, judged: grounded at first use, grounded elsewhere on the page, or missing — used where a first-time reader has nothing to hold. A page passes when nothing is missing: you can read it top to bottom with no other tab open. Lexicon: 690 terms drawn from the concept index, glossary, facts, and prerequisite graph; 1899 first-occurrences detected across 377 pages.
