Doc Sync

name: doc-sync
description: Syncs README.md, sml/README.md, and top-level package doc.go comments against the current exported API. Only corrects verifiable drift (wrong signatures, renamed options, missing/removed symbols, stale behavior). Does not rewrite prose for style.

# doc-sync

Goal: docs reflect current source. Correct factual drift. Do not restructure or restyle.

Default scope: `README.md`, `sml/README.md`, and `doc.go` of each public package listed in `100-overview.md`. Narrow with an argument. `docs/secs1/*.md` design notes are read-only history — flag only if they misrepresent *current* behavior.

## Procedure

1. **Inventory source.** For each package in scope, list exported symbols, functional options, and the package-level comment. Do not derive public-API facts from `internal/`.
2. **Inventory docs.** Extract every code block, signature, option name, shortcut constructor (`A`, `I4`, `L`, …), and SEMI-standard reference in the scoped files.
3. **Diff.** For each mismatch, classify:
   - **stale** — exists but described differently (wrong signature, option, default, behavior).
   - **missing** — source symbol / option / error / behavior not mentioned.
   - **phantom** — doc describes something that no longer exists.
4. **Fix.** Targeted edits only. Match signatures verbatim (parameter names, types, variadic). Correct option names everywhere. For phantom symbols, delete the section (and add a one-line "renamed to X" where a replacement exists). For missing symbols, add a stub entry per `400-documentation.md`.
5. **Don't fix** when it requires author intent (ambiguous grammar, design-note decisions, multiple plausible rewordings) — flag as "needs attention."

## Rules

- Read the source file before editing a doc claim.
- Verify SML snippets parse under the current parser mode (strict / non-strict).
- Don't touch prose tone, section order, or design notes.
- Don't fabricate API behavior. If source is ambiguous, quote both the claim and the source.

## Report

```
## doc-sync report

### Applied
- README.md: corrected SendDataMessage signature; added WithValidateDataMessage to the secs1 example.
- hsmsss/doc.go: documented exponential-backoff reconnect; added WithLinktestFailureThreshold.

### Needs attention
- README.md L300: SML round-trip example ambiguous between strict / non-strict — author input needed.

### No changes
- gem/doc.go, logger/doc.go
