docs: propagate recent doc fixes across stats/base/dists/* and */base/ndarray/*

[Planeshifter]

Propagating fixes merged to develop between 2026-04-26 15:09 PT and 2026-04-27 01:56 ET to sibling packages.

Description

This pull request:

• Propagates equation-label and SVG filename fixes from 31b9282 across nine packages in stats/base/dists/*, stripping doubled distribution-name prefixes (e.g., eq:chi_chi_cdf → eq:chi_cdf, equation_weibull_weibull_pdf.svg → equation_weibull_pdf.svg) from <equation> labels, data-equation attributes, and <img src> URLs in affected READMEs. On-disk SVGs are renamed to match. Changes are mechanical; suffix corrections (where the embedded formula differs from the measure) are out of scope and left for a follow-on. Targets: stats/base/dists/{beta/mgf, cauchy/{pdf,logpdf,quantile}, chi/quantile, normal/{pdf,logpdf}, weibull/{pdf,logpdf}}.
• Propagates the wording fix from 6ba8e82 across blas/base/ndarray/* and stats/base/ndarray/*, prepending the missing article a to bullets describing ordered ndarray inputs (e.g., - first one-dimensional input ndarray. → - a first one-dimensional input ndarray.). Corrections span READMEs, repl.txt files, TypeScript declarations, and JSDoc in library entry points, touching 29 files and fixing 68 lines. Bullets already containing a grammatical article (the first/second) are left unchanged.

Validation:

• Pattern search scope for 31b9282: stats/base/dists/**/README.md for eq:<dist>_<dist>_* doubled-prefix labels and matching equation_*.svg references.
• Pattern search scope for 6ba8e82: blas/base/ndarray/** and stats/base/ndarray/** for - first/second one-dimensional input ndarray. bullets without a leading article, across *.md, *.txt, *.d.ts, and *.js.
• Two independent validation passes confirmed every site; an adaptation pass produced the per-site label rewrites for the equation-label fix; a style-consistency pass approved both patterns.

Deliberately excluded:

• Suffix mismatches in the */logpdf READMEs (e.g., eq:cauchy_pdf retained inside cauchy/logpdf because the README intro embeds the PDF formula). Renaming the suffix is outside the source commit's pattern.
• bench: string-interpolation refactors merged in the same window — pattern is a sweep-style refactor already covering its own namespaces, not a propagatable defect.
• Two chore: fix JavaScript lint errors commits — single-file lint cleanups specific to one call site each, no generalizable signature.
• docs: fix missing type (Array<integer> → Array<integer>|integer in blas/ext/linspace/docs/repl.txt) — verified the six sibling ndarray/**/docs/repl.txt candidates strictly require an array (no scalar branch in lib/main.js); the existing docs are correct.
• docs: add missing JSDoc example sections in _tools/pkgs packages — sibling packages already carry one @example block; adding a second would be enhancement, not the source defect (which was zero examples).

Disclosure

This PR was authored by Claude Code as part of a fix-propagation routine. Each propagation site was independently validated by two opus-class agents, an adaptation agent produced per-site rewrites for the adaptive equation-label fix, and a style-consistency pass approved the result before commit.

The above coverage report was generated for the changes in this PR.

[kgryte]

I reverted the changes to *dot. It doesn't make sense to have the article "a" before "first" and "second" in these lists. It just sounds awkward.

All changes to blas/base/ndarray in this PR should be reverted.

[kgryte]

Effectively "first" and "second" in these descriptions should be considered a replacement for "a" or "an".

[kgryte]

Same thing. All changes to stats/base/ndarray should be reverted. No need to prefix the description with "a".
