An audit of all 18 packages in output/ (368 bullets) found one rhythm
running through every document: 45% of bullets used the same "X, Y and
Z" triple, and the SBB package reached 85% - 11 of 13 bullets, every
Swisscom and Bosch line - plus two adjacent bullets both opening
"Build and...".
This is a style finding, not a truth finding. Every bullet was accurate.
The corpus is clean on the axes that actually signal generated text: no
AI vocabulary (0 hits for leverage/spearheaded/robust/passionate and 56
others across 35 documents), prose em-dashes at 0.08/bullet, and PDF
metadata carrying nothing but MiKTeX pdfTeX with empty Author/Title
(0 AI tokens and 0 generator-term leaks across 69 PDFs). What is left is
cadence: ten bullets sharing one three-beat rhythm read as machine-made
even when nothing in them is false.
Guarded deliberately so it cannot do harm. cadence_checks() emits WARN
and never ERROR, the critique deduction caps at 1 point, and both the
reference and the docstring state that no claim, scope or hedged verb
may be bent to satisfy rhythm. An anti-monotony rule with teeth would be
worse than the problem - it would pressure a future run into loosening a
scoped claim to vary a sentence.
Thresholds are calibrated on the corpus, not guessed. Position length
spreads are bimodal (1-9 words, then 15-17), so the check flags a spread
of <=4, the tight tail at ~28% of positions; the first draft used <=6
and flagged the median. Also fixed the opening-verb extractor, which
read \textbf{Owned ...} as the word "textbf" and produced six false
positives on one document. Per-package warnings now run 0-3.

A 3L first bullet in the first experience position overflows page 1,
wasting prime real estate. Updated resume_reference.md (Page Fill
Budgets), critical_rules.md (Budget Reminder), cv_template.tex
(comment block), and /make-resume SKILL.md (Phase 1 checklist).
