-- Selective merge of net-new anti-slop patterns from `miqdadbadjuber/anti-slop` v3.2.x into existing surfaces (`taste-guard.md`, `03-prose-discipline.md`, `writing-for-agents`, `install-anti-slop/NOTICE.md`, and `docs/warehouse-inventory.md`): Two-State Layout, Decorative Status Dot, Over-Explained Comment, and DESIGN.md conflict resolution. Zero new skills added; catalog totals stay 64 (48 model-invoked, 16 manual slash commands).
+None.

 3. ~~`impeccable` frontmatter declares `Apache 2.0` while `vendor/license-audit.json` records `Apache-2.0`.~~ Resolved: frontmatter now reads `Apache-2.0`, and the audit evidence string dropped the parenthetical that only existed to flag the mismatch.
 4. 28 of 62 skills omit a frontmatter `license` key by design. If that ever becomes confusing, document it in the skill authoring guide rather than adding keys.
