Apply Humanizer to its own prose

Four of the five bullets in the opening account ended in a forced
triad, every section intro restated its heading, two sentences ended
in a not-X-but-Y tail, and one intro referred to an era. Fixed all of
them with the skill's own patterns.

 A language model picks the most likely next words, so its default choice is the one that fits the widest range of readers and subjects. A human writer chooses for one reader and one subject, so their choices are uneven and specific. Every pattern below is one form of the default choice:
 
-- **Staging.** The sentence performs significance instead of adding a fact: a contrast that only adds weight, a one-line closer that repeats the point, a saying that sounds deep.
-- **Rhythm by rule.** Triads, dashes, and even sentence lengths applied everywhere, whether or not the meaning asks for them.
-- **Inflation.** Ordinary facts dressed as pivotal, vibrant, or expert-backed.
-- **Formatting by rule.** Bold, emojis, and title case applied to every item.
-- **Leftovers.** Chat wrappers, disclaimers, and drafting moves that were never meant for the reader.

 Word habits change with every model release; the structural habits above persist, which is why they lead the list below.

-Each pattern describes a default choice, and a person can make any one of them on purpose. Act on a *weak alone* tell only when several tells share a passage. Leave a watched phrase alone inside a quotation, a title, a proper name, or a passage that discusses the phrase rather than uses it. Salutations and sign-offs on a letter or comment predate chatbots. Text written before November 30, 2022 is not AI-written. People judging by feel do little better than chance at telling AI text from human text, and human writing keeps absorbing AI habits, so the cluster rule is the safeguard, not instinct.
