Every README in the repository and all 19 toolkit docs pages, rewritten to read like a maintained open-source project rather than generated text: no emoji or slogan headings, prose instead of bold-label bullet lists, duplicated sections merged, nothing promotional. 48 files, about 1,150 lines shorter overall.

Checking the text against the code turned up real errors, now fixed:

  • data/mask_annotation: masks are uint16 (not int16); removed a sam2/labels/ folder the code never writes and the claim that rpx_benchmark reads this output directly.
  • docker/depth-smoke: the clone command named a branch that does not exist.
  • docker/vqa-smoke: stale "frozen" model list replaced by the paper's 12 configurations; server-specific paths generalized.
  • tools/dataset/qa: every command pointed at a nonexistent rerun_check/ path and omitted --repo-root.
  • benchmark/templates/rpx_capture_wireframe: per-frame poses are .npz, the rpx download console command does not exist, stale NeurIPS-era notes removed.
  • dataset_hub: scanner skip behavior described correctly; added the undocumented mock, prepare-ego and verify commands; upload creates private repos unless --public.
  • vqa_smoke/v1: the parse-rate gate only runs with --min-parse-rate.
  • Docs: seven pages linked to a removed benchmark/README.md anchor; T1–T6 commands no longer require --manifest, since the CLI downloads the data.

tracking/metadata/text_initialization_v1/SHA256SUMS and manifest_summary.json are updated for the new README hash (sha256sum -c passes).

Known issue, not fixed here: benchmark/data/vqa_smoke/v1/manifest.jsonl predates the box-only builder (36 rows, 16 without boxes) and needs regenerating from the Parquets; test_vqa_smoke.py:651 skips because of it.

Verification: strict docs build passes and the link check verifies 77,126 internal links and anchors; the docs T1 and T4 commands run end to end; the test suite has the same 5 failures as main (Box token, TrackEval, two order-dependent tests) and no new ones.

Removes emoji headings, slogan headings, bold-label bullet lists and
filler across every README and docs page, merges duplicated sections,
and fixes factual errors found while checking the text against the
code (wrong script paths, a nonexistent clone branch and console
command, stale model lists, int16 vs uint16 masks, scanner behavior,
VQA smoke parse-rate gate). Updates the tracking metadata checksums
for its README.
