Follow-up to #766. The review finding on that PR was pushed to its branch after it merged, so it never reached main#766 merged at 761a04d, the fix was b74bdcc. This carries it over unchanged.

The finding

README.md said "There is also a fourth way to read all of this: keel mcp…".

git log -S "fourth way to read" puts that phrase at #600, in the same sentence as "the browser view and the TUI answer" — so the TUI was one of the three it counted from. The count has been wrong since #541 deleted the command, and #766 removing and the TUI from the next clause took away the last visible trace of what it referred to.

That left a reader an ordinal with no recoverable referent — worse than before, in exactly the way #766 was about.

Dropped, not renumbered

"Third" would rot the same way the moment a surface is added or retired, and nothing in the README enumerates the set, so no number in that position can be checked by the person reading it. The sentence now just introduces keel mcp.

Also carried over

RETIRED entries must be distinctive tokens, as a note in tests/test_retired_surfaces.py. The match is \b<surface>\b over whole documents — safe for tui, useless for something like api, which would fire on every page and lead the next author to loosen the rule rather than fix a document. The note says to match the command form (keel <name>) when the name is common.

Checks

README.ar.md carries no equivalent claim, and no other a <ordinal> way survives in the README. 6,426 passed / 3 skipped, ruff clean.

Review of this PR's own diff, and the finding is in the sentence the PR edits.

"There is also a FOURTH way to read all of this: `keel mcp`..." entered at #600
(`git log -S`), in the same sentence as "the browser view and the TUI answer".
The TUI was one of the three it counted from, so the count has been wrong since
#541 -- and removing "and the TUI" from the next clause took away the last
visible trace of what it referred to, leaving a reader an ordinal with no
recoverable referent. Worse than before, in the exact way this PR is about.

Dropped rather than renumbered. "Third" would rot the same way the moment a
surface is added or retired, and nothing in the README enumerates the set, so no
number in that position can be checked by the person reading it.

Also, per the same review: RETIRED entries must be DISTINCTIVE tokens. The match
is `\b<surface>\b` over whole documents, which is safe for `tui` and would be
useless for something like `api` -- it would fire on every page and the next
author would loosen the rule to escape the noise rather than fix a document. The
note says to match the command (`keel <name>`) instead when the name is common.

Checked while here: README.ar.md carries no equivalent claim, and no other
"a <ordinal> way" survives in the README.

6,426 passed / 3 skipped, ruff clean.
