Second pass with the avoid-ai-writing detector

The skill's detector scored the README, PARITY.md and the extracted
comment prose. Fixed what it flagged: hollow intensifiers, "in order
to", "additionally", "the whole point", bold sentences in docs, and
bold that had wrapped across comment lines. Comment prose scores a
maximum of 4 out of 100 across the repo.

One sweep rule mangled four comments ("which is the entire point of X"
lost its clause); repaired, and the rule now keeps the clause.

Comments and strings only. 1208 tests pass, counted from the XML.
