Tone Analysis Results

Full scan of both new spec files:

breaking-cli-rules.md: 0 tone issues. Technical and neutral throughout. Decision tree uses ASCII art (retained as-is in reference, simplified inline).

workflow-refactoring-patterns.md: 0 tone issues. Uses specific line counts and concrete examples. The "Benefits" section uses a numeric scoring system (+20 points, +30 points) which is unconventional but accurate — left intact in the source file.

No changes were needed to any source spec files.

Validation Results

• ✅ Markdown structure valid
• ✅ All code blocks have language tags
• ✅ Mermaid diagrams intact (no new diagrams added)
• ✅ Consistent technical tone throughout new sections
• ✅ No marketing language
• ✅ Document history updated with accurate coverage count
