Standardise branding and cut the documentation back to what is true

[pedrobritx]

One author string, one licence document, and ~1,270 fewer lines of prose that had stopped being true.

Branding

src/data/credit.js gains AUTHOR, LINKEDIN_URL and GITHUB_URL, and every surface reads from it — app footer, licence notice, Markdown exports, the PNG credit badge, and by hand the two literals in print.css, which cannot import JS.

Two inconsistencies fixed rather than carried forward:

The attribution credit pointed somewhere else. It read pedrobritx.github.io/EwP while the tool it credits lives at lessonframework.britx.me. Anyone following the required credit landed on a different site. It now points at the tool.

The author was written three ways. "pedrobritx" in the credit line, "Pedro Henrique Bahia Brito" in the copyright notice, "English with Pedro" in the footer. All three are now Pedro Brito (BRITX), with LinkedIn and GitHub as the standing pair, closing every document.

Verified in the rendered app:

PEDRO BRITO (BRITX)  ->  https://lessonframework.britx.me
LINKEDIN             ->  https://www.linkedin.com/in/pedrobritx/
GITHUB               ->  https://github.com/pedrobritx

Two documents removed

TERMS.md restated LICENSE.md almost clause for clause — two documents that could disagree about the same licence. Its plain-language framing moved into LICENSE.md, which already had a summary box. The licence also now states the source-available/open-source distinction up front and points at the contributor sign-off.

efll-framework-v2-spec.md (716 lines) specified a design that was deliberately not built: a router, three authored handout tiers, a saved-lesson library. Nothing linked to it. Its level-calibration tables already live in docs/handout-authoring.md.

The spec deletion is lossless, but only after a fix

It carried two citations that existed nowhere else in the repo:

• VanPatten (1996) on input processing — which src/data/phases.js:49 cites for a Phase 2 activity option, with no matching reference entry
• Anderson (1977) on schema theory — which Phase 1 rests on

Both are now entries in src/data/references.js, where the validator can see them. 38 references to 40. That gap was real and predates this PR: the validator checks that every phase and activity cites something, but free-text sla strings were never checked against references.js.

Prose

README, CANON, framework-overview, handout-authoring and CONTRIBUTING lose the migration-era commentary about what moved from where and why. True when written; now just noise for a reader who wants to plan a lesson.

The README is restructured around what a visitor actually needs — what it is, the four steps, exports, licence, docs index, development — and drops the parallel licence restatement now that LICENSE.md carries it.

docs/handout-authoring.md loses its 25-line superseded banner. The three-tier model it described was never built, so the document is now simply what it is: the level-calibration reference, plus an honest note that answer keys are a gap and why generating them per lesson beats authoring them per cell.

Verification

• npm run validate — passes
• npm run check-links — 31 relative links resolve
• npm run build — succeeds
• Footer, credit constants and both print.css literals confirmed to agree
